This issue of Ultrasound Clinics on selected topics in Obstetrics and Gynecology has been a pleasure to edit. When one sits down to plan an Ultrasound Clinics on such a diverse topic, the challenge is to select the areas that will be of clinical relevance to the reader. We have been fortunate in having a diverse expert authorship including North America, Europe, and Israel. This diversity reflects some of the international differences in both the way we practice and the way we wish to practice in our field.
In the obstetrics section, we have looked at new and expanding views in fetal echocardiography as well as classic pitfalls that we may all experience in imaging of the second and third trimester. We have been fortunate to have our outstanding British colleagues contribute cutting edge sections on gestational trophoblastic disease and the role of ultrasound in the management of threatened miscarriage. The question of when to perform an anatomic fetal evaluation is explored in the article on early first-trimester anatomy. Although the debate may be ongoing, it has raised many interesting questions.
In the gynecology section, we have an excellent article on demystifying ovarian cysts in addition to a superb update on the use of color Doppler sonography in the pelvis. We are fortunate to have the authors of established guidelines on postmenopausal bleeding present a review of this topic for this issue. Pediatric gynecology, always a challenge for the adult imager, is presented in a concise fashion. The superb discussion of nongynecological causes of right lower quadrant pain, in particular that of bowel, has simplified what has traditionally been a challenging area for ultrasound imagers.
Hopefully after reading this issue of Ultrasound Clinics , the reader will have a perspective on some new and exciting directions in our field and solidify some practice models in their daily work. By extending our understanding and knowledge of ultrasound imaging, we can contribute to the campaigns of “Image Wisely and Gently,” thus reducing radiation exposure where warranted.
Many thanks to the excellent work and support by the staff at Elsevier.
My sincere thanks and respect to the authors for their willingness to share their expertise in their respective fields.
