• Focuses on fetal medicine throughout, bringing you today’s most reliable information in both basic science and clinical topics.
• Offers updated information from cover to cover, including new coverage of genetics, embryology, and clinical management.
• Features new self-assessment questions, new video clips, and new images throughout – for a total of nearly 1,000 photographs and line drawings, as well as more than 150 quick-reference tables.
• Details fast-changing developments in fetal medicine, including advances in ultrasound imaging, cytogenetics, molecular biology, and biochemistry.
• Helps you learn and retrieve complex information quickly thanks to succinct, highly structured text; key points at the beginning of each chapter; and concise chapter summaries.
• Enhanced eBook version included with purchase. Your enhanced eBook allows you to access all of the text, figures, and references from the book on a variety of devices.

New editor team – 3 new editors with an international approach – they will select qualified authors who can discuss the basic science as well as the clinical aspects of perinatal problems

Updated knowledge content – major areas of change are non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) and genetic testing – Ron Wapner is one of the leaders in these fields

Expert Consult access – individual electronic access for the first time

4-color design – current design is b&w so will update with new colors and colorize the drawings.
