Features: This book is entirely written for the aforementioned clinical purposes in obstetrics, and it was compiled out of a sense that there is a lack of specialized works on this topic in China. The writing material is primarily derived from the author's extensive experience in domestic and international obstetric clinical practice and obstetric ultrasound work. The writing order begins with normal early pregnancy, then progresses to middle and late pregnancy, covering the ultrasound examination of gestational, followed by abnormal pregnancy, and finally fetal malformations. Currently, no other examination method can be more convenient and accurate in applying to every pregnant woman to detect and diagnose fetal malformations than ultrasound. Moreover, fetal malformations have always been the most challenging part of prenatal diagnosis. Therefore, this book dedicates a significant amount of space to providing detailed introductions to the ultrasound diagnosis of various fetal malformations. Among these, the ultrasound diagnosis of central nervous system and cardiovascular system malformations is described in greater detail, as we have considered that the diagnosis of central nervous and cardiovascular system malformations is the most complex and important part of prenatal ultrasound examination. Another feature of this book is that it separately discusses the etiology, pathology, sonographic diagnosis, differential diagnosis, and prognosis of abnormal pregnancy and fetal malformations. Additionally, it briefly introduces diagnostic methods from other disciplines and the principles of obstetric management. All major descriptions in the book are accompanied by abundant typical sonographic images, some of which are published in China for the first time. To enable domestic colleagues to promptly, objectively, and comprehensively understand and keep up with the advanced level of international prenatal ultrasound diagnosis, during the more than two years of writing, we reviewed a large number of relevant books, literature, and research materials. However, due to the limited experience level of the author, the data and statistical materials used may still be incomplete. It is inevitable that there may be some errors or inappropriate places in the book, and we sincerely apologize to the readers and welcome your guidance.
