Critics Review

‘This excellent book is a must for any obstetric department.’ Synergy - Imaging and Therapy Practice

‘This excellent book is a must for any obstetric department.’ Synergy - Imaging and Therapy Practice‘This excellent book helps novices increase their understanding and experienced practitioners enhance their knowledge.’ Doody’s Notes‘… an excellent text, both as a quick reference and for those wishing to read about the subject in more depth. It is also good value, given the very large number of illustrations and the accompanying DVD, and any department providing screening for or diagnosis of congenital heart disease would benefit from having the book available.’ The Obstetrician and Gynaecologist online‘Very well laid out, interesting, clear explanations … Would recommend … Excellent.’ BMA Medical Book Awards reviewer‘There is much compassion displayed through the application of dedication and reasoning especially within the final eighth chapter, where outcomes are analysed implicitly for the benefit of those yet to be cared for by colleagues, national and international, and its is hugely commendable for that contribution alone to the promotion of excellence in fetal cardiac scanning … All of the main conditions that one is ever likely to encounter in a lifetime of general obstetric scanning are covered in images that run well into double figures for all of the 10 commonest diagnoses. This is, therefore, a personal, or a departmental, collection is you buy his book and the main conditions are also covered on an informative and highly educationally illustrative DVD … Of particular note, there is a bibliography selected for subject merit by the author, instead of references, to guide further study.
