Figure legends with the website icon () have real-time ultrasound video clips in the corresponding figure on the online version of the Atlas.
Ultrasound emerged as a major tool in medical imaging in the 1970s, and it has been on a sustained trajectory of technological improvement ever since. As sonography has moved from static to real time, from black-and-white to shades of gray to color depiction of blood flow, and from unidimensional (A-mode) to two to three to four dimensional, its utility and range of applications have grown impressively.
Nowhere has the impact of ultrasound been more dramatic than in obstetrics and gynecology. The ability of sonography to detect fetal abnormalities prior to delivery, to diagnose gynecological diseases without surgery, and to direct minimally invasive therapy has revolutionized these fields of medicine.
All of these considerations led us to write the first edition of this Atlas, which was published in 2003. Since then, impressive advances in technology have prompted us to produce this second edition. Ultrasound image resolution has improved, allowing more accurate and confident diagnoses. The improvements have been especially dramatic in three-dimensional sonography, leading to considerably greater use of this technique in obstetrical and gynecological imaging. Because of these changes, the majority (over 90%) of the images and video clips in this second edition are new.
Another change since 2003 is increased access to high-speed Internet connections. So, instead of including with the book a compact disk (CD) to show real-time video clips, this second edition has a parallel version online. This will allow readers not only to see the video clips in motion, but also to access the full text and images wherever they have Internet access.
Ultrasound interpretation depends heavily on pattern recognition: identifying normal structures and establishing specific diagnoses from patterns of abnormal anatomy. As such, we anticipate that this Atlas will be useful in both clinical and educational settings. In the clinical arena, the Atlas can serve as a reference, to be pulled off the shelf when there is an abnormal sonographic finding for which the diagnosis is unclear. On the educational front, the Atlas can serve as a learning and study tool, as it offers up-to-date images and clips covering a wide range of obstetrical and gynecological entities. We hope that the Atlas, in both its book and online formats, is a useful addition to the growing body of ultrasound literature.
We are grateful to our colleagues and co-workers in the Brigham and Womens Hospital Radiology Department Ultrasound Section, as well as the joint Radiology-Obstetrics High-Risk Obstetrical Ultrasound Unit. Their expertise and hard work has made our institution a center of excellence in ultrasound.
Fertilization occurs at approximately 14 days after the beginning of the last menstrual period (LMP). Within 34 days, the zygote (fertilized egg) has traveled along the fallopian tube and reached the uterus, and, via cell division, has grown to a sphere of 1215 cells. Over the same time period, the endometrium becomes thicker and richer in blood vessels, ready to support the developing pregnancy. This change in the endometrium occurs because of stimulation from the hormone beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (-HCG), which is produced by the corpus luteum, the remnant of the ovarian follicle that released the ovum before fertilization. The altered endometrium is called the decidua. By 56 days after fertilization, the collection of cells (now called a blastocyst) implants into the decidua. At about 2 weeks after fertilization, close to the expected time of the next menses, a blood or urine pregnancy test (which checks for the presence of -HCG in these fluids) first becomes positive.
