Atlante di Risonanza Magnetica del Cervello Fetale

Large-format volume, 130 pages, 264 colour illustrations. Printed as an international co-edition.

What should we say to an anxious woman after an obstetric ultrasound has raised doubts about her fetus’s brain? We must explain risks, probabilities and uncertainties, yet MRI has the major advantage of providing more precise information.

This technique has progressively established itself in recent years. It is now widely recognised that, when performed during the second trimester of pregnancy, it is a safe and easy-to-perform technique. The challenge lies in interpreting the images obtained.

This volume describes the normal appearance of the fetal brain with great precision, comparing anatomical sections with MRI images and making typical development easier to understand. This supports better semiotic analysis and facilitates the identification of possible malformations and anomalies.
