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.

sound use, it is likely that an even higher percentage of
pregnant women undergo ultrasound evaluation currently in the United States. 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. In
many of these cases, especially those with fetal central

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

and safety of using ultrasound in pregnancy. 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
(Fig. 28-3).

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).

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.
Second and Third Trimesters
The current ACR/AIUM guidelines for the performance
of the second- and third-trimester obstetric ultrasound
examinations describe the standard sonographic exami-

nation.
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

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-

with a sagittal midline view to assess the cervix. If the
cervix appears abnormally short or if placenta previa is
suspected, a vaginal scan can then be performed.

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.
