Full Description
This reference provides an authoritative overview of the role of ultrasonography and MR imaging technologies in the examination and assessment of the central nervous system of the fetus and neonate. Spanning advancements in fetal ultrasound, in-utero MR, the imaging of the neonatal brain, and the analysis of normal and abnormal brain development, this guide paints a vivid picture of the utilization and development of imaging technologies in modern prenatal and pediatric medicine.
