Preface
The fourth edition of Diagnostic Ultrasound is a major revision. Previous editions have been very well accepted as a reference textbook and have been the most com­monly used reference in ultrasound education and prac­tices worldwide. We are pleased to provide a new update of images and text with new areas of strength. For the first time we are including video clips in the majority of chapters. The display of real-time ultrasound has helped to capture those abnormalities that require a sweep through the pathology to truly appreciate the lesion. It is similar to scrolling through images on a PACS and has added great value to clinical imaging. Daily we find that cine or video clips show important areas between still images that help to make certain a diagnosis or relation­ships between lesions. Now we rarely need to go back to reevaluate a lesion with another scan, making patient imaging more efficient.
We are pleased to announce that a new editor, Deborah Levine, has joined us, providing expertise in fetal imaging, in both obstetrical sonography and fetal MRI. Prenatal diagnosis is one of the frontiers of medicine that contin­ues to grow as a field and has pushed our understanding of what happens to the fetus before we see a lesion at birth. These antecedents of disease in children and adults help us to arrange care for patients long before the mother goes into labor.
Approximately 90 outstanding new and continuing authors have contributed to this edition, and all are recognized experts in the field of ultrasound. We have replaced at least 50% of the images without increasing the size of the two volumes, so new value has been added to all of the chapters, particularly for obstetrics and gynecology. The fourth edition now includes over 5000 images, many in full color. The layout has been exhaustively revamped, and there are highly valuable multipart figures or key figure collages. These images all reflect the spectrum of sonographic changes that may
occur in a given disease instead of the most common manifestation only.
The book’s format has been redesigned to facilitate reading and review. There are again color-enhanced boxes to highlight the important or critical features of sonographic diagnoses. Key terms and concepts are emphasized in boldface type. To direct the readers to other research and literature of interest, comprehensive reference lists are organized by topic.
Diagnostic Ultrasound is again divided into two volumes. Volume I consists of Parts I to III. Part I con­tains chapters on physics and biologic effects of ultra­sound, as well as more of the latest developments in ultrasound contrast agents. Part II covers abdominal, pelvic, and thoracic sonography, including interven­tional procedures and organ transplantation. Part III presents small parts imaging including thyroid, breast, scrotum, carotid, peripheral vessels, and particularly MSK imaging. Newly added is a chapter on musculosk­eletal intervention.
Volume II begins with Part IV, where the greatest expansion of text and images has been on obstetric and fetal sonography, including video clips for the first time. Part V comprehensively covers pediatric sonography.
Diagnostic Ultrasound is for practicing physicians, resi­dents, medical students, sonographers, and others inter­ested in understanding the vast applications of diagnostic sonography in patient care. Our goal is for Diagnostic Ultrasound to continue to be the most comprehensive reference book available in the sonographic literature with a highly readable style and superb images.

Ultrasound use is even higher in countries where it is considered a part of routine obstetric care, as opposed to the United States, where this is still a contentious issue.
Indications for ultrasound during the first trimester include pregnancy dating, assessment of women with bleeding or pain, and assessment of nuchal translucency in screening for aneuploidy. In the second trimester, ultrasound is used for pregnancy dating, assessment of interval growth, assessment of patients with abnormal pain or bleeding, assessment of size-to-dates discrepancy, routine survey of fetal anatomy, and assessment of maternal indications related to age, drug use, or history of prior abnormalities.
In cases of multiple gestations, ultrasound is used to assess growth and complications of twinning. In women with history of cervical incompetence, ultrasound is used to screen for cervical changes that put a patient at risk for preterm delivery. In the third trimester, ultrasound is predominantly used to assess fetal growth and well-being. Ultrasound is increasingly used for fetal procedures such as testing for aneuploidy, fetal drainage, and guidance for fetal surgery. Ultrasound is well recognized as the screen­ing modality of choice, but additional information may be needed beyond that available with ultrasound.

Part IV of this textbook focuses on obstetric ultra­sound and reviews specific fetal organ system anatomy and pathology, with chapters also on safety of ultrasound in pregnancy, assessment of twins, and growth. Fetal MR and three-dimensional ultrasound images are added throughout to illustrate the benefit of these techniques in select cases.
TRAINING, PERSONNEL, AND EQUIPMENT
Obstetric ultrasound diagnosis is critically dependent on examiner training and experience. sonographers performing obstetric ultrasound examina­tions should have completed appropriate training and should be appropriately credentialed and boarded. Accreditation of ultrasound laboratories improves com­pliance with published minimum standards and guide-

Studies should be conducted with real-time scanners using a transabdominal and/or transvaginal approach, depend­ing on the gestational age and the region of interest. The choice of transducer frequency is a trade-off between beam penetration and resolution. In general, a 3 to 5–MHz transducer frequency provides sufficient resolu­tion with adequate depth penetration in all but the

extremely obese patient. During early pregnancy, a 4 to 7–MHz abdominal transducer or a 5 to 10–MHz vaginal transducer may provide superior resolution while still allowing adequate penetration. Higher-frequency trans­ducers are most useful in achieving high-resolution scans, and lower-frequency transducers are useful when increased penetration of the sound beam is necessary. Use of Doppler ultrasound and three-dimensional (3-D) and four-dimensional (4-D) imaging depends on the specific indication. As in all imaging studies, complete documentation of the images and a formal written inter­pretation are essential for quality assurance, accredita­tion, and medicolegal issues.

ULTRASOUND GUIDELINES
First Trimester
The current guidelines of the American College of Radi­ology (ACR) and American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine (AIUM) for the performance of first-trimester obstetric ultrasound examination include documenta­tion of the location of the pregnancy (intrauterine vs. extrauterine), documentation of the appearance of the maternal uterus and ovaries (Fig. 28-1), and assessment of gestational age, either by measurement of mean sac diameter (before visualization of embryonic pole; Fig.
28-2) or by embryonic/fetal pole crown-rump length

rather than spectral Doppler ultrasound on the embryo to limit power deposition. Late in the first trimester, dating can be performed with measurement of the bipa­rietal diameter and head circumference, rather than crown-rump length. Chapters 30 and 42 discuss the first-trimester examination and gestational dating in pregnancy, respectively.
In cases of multiple gestation, first-trimester scans should document the fetal number as well as the amni­onicity and chorionicity (Fig. 28-4). Chapter 32 dis­cusses the assessment of multifetal pregnancies.
It is increasingly common to assess for risk of aneu-
ploidy (e.g., trisomy 21, 18, or 13) by measuring nuchal translucency between 11 and 14 weeks of gestation (see

maternal age and serology, can be used to determine an individualized risk of fetal aneuploidy (see Chapter 31). Increased use of first- and second-trimester ultrasound has reduced the number of interventional procedures to

detect aneuploidy while increasing the prenatal diagnosis of aneuploidy.

Given the increased scanning late in the first trimester, it is also increasingly common for a limited anatomic survey to be conducted in the late first trimester. Anomalies that should be detected this early include anencephaly (Fig. 28-5) and omphalocele (Fig.
28-6). Although substantial information can be obtained
at this time, first-trimester anatomic survey is unlikely to replace the second-trimester anatomic survey, since many structures are difficult to visualize completely early in the second trimester, particularly the heart, cardiac outflow tracts, posterior fossa, and distal spine.

It is important to understand that the guidelines were written to maximize detection of many fetal abnor­malities, but are not expected to allow for detection of all structural abnormalities.

The terminology level I and level II examinations refer to “standard” or “routine” (level I) and “high risk,” “specialized,” or “detailed” (level II) obstetric ultrasound. The concept of these two levels of scanning is that the

standard, basic, routine, or level I examination is per­formed routinely on pregnant patients (Figs. 28-7 to
28-16). The methods to obtain all the required images
are described in detail in subsequent chapters. This chapter provides a collage of figures as a guide for the anatomic survey and common additional views obtained during a fetal survey.
In general, the “standard fetal anatomic survey” refers to the second-trimester scan, typically performed between 16 and 22 weeks of gestation. When anatomic surveys are performed at 20 to 22 weeks’ gestational age, there is less need for repeat scans to document normal anatomy compared to studies performed earlier in preg-

However, there are practical considerations
nancy. when determining the optimal timing of studies. In well­dated pregnancies in women who are unlikely to want amniocentesis, a survey at 20 to 22 weeks’ gestation is optimal. However, if a pregnancy is not well dated, an earlier scan may be needed both to establish accurate dates for the pregnancy and to assess the anatomy. Some centers offer the scan at 16 weeks’ gestation to coincide with performance of genetic amniocentesis and/or midtrimester quadruple serum screening.
The level I examination consists of investigation of the maternal uterus and ovaries, the cervix, and placenta (Fig. 28-7; Video 28-1), as well as a systematic review of fetal anatomy. Adnexal cysts are common in pregnant women. In early pregnancy a cyst is most likely the corpus luteum. If a cyst appears atypical or enlarges beyond the middle second trimester, it should be further assessed. Leiomyoma position and size should be docu­mented. If the myometrium appears thin in the lower uterine segment (e.g., <
3 mm in woman with prior cesarean section), the myometrium should be measured because this puts the woman at risk for uterine dehis-

activity, amniotic fluid volume, localization of the pla­centa, and determination of fetal presentation and situs (Fig. 28-8). Knowledge of the plane of section across the maternal abdomen, combined with the position of the fetal spine and right-sided and left-sided structures within the fetal body, allows accurate determination of fetal position and identification of normal and pathologic anatomy. Some congenital anomalies, such as dextrocardia, will be recognized only if a structure is identified as “abnormal” by virtue of its atypical position related to the lie and presentation of the fetus.
Biometry is performed, both to estimate gestational
age and to estimate fetal weight (Fig. 28-9).
The high-risk, targeted, detailed, or level II scan should have a specific indication that requires a detailed fetal sonogram, performed by a clinician with expertise in obstetric imaging.

This high-risk scan is performed when an anomaly is suspected because of maternal medical or family history, or if abnormal results are suspected on a routine scan. Additional views in routine obstetric sonography include the head (Fig. 28-10; Video 28-2), face (Fig. 28-11), heart
