Almost two decades have passed since the publication of the second edition
of the book. This relatively long interval has witnessed major innovations in
the diagnostic Doppler sonography, a greater depth of knowledge on fetal
and maternal cardiovascular physiology and pathology, and the emergence of
new evidence for guiding clinical practice. In many areas of practice, the use
of Doppler has become an essential pre-requisite to appropriate investigation
and diagnosis. These advances have provided a powerful rationale for bringing the book up to date so that it may continue to serve our readers in the
future. We have critically examined the information contained in the second
edition, and comprehensively revised and expanded the contents as deemed
appropriate. The process has been successfully concluded and we are very
pleased to offer the third edition of “Doppler Ultrasound in Obstetrics and
Gynecology” to our readers.
This book has, accordingly, undergone a significant renewal. We take this
opportunity to welcome the 35 new authors and co-authors who have substantially contributed to enriching this edition by providing new chapters or
rewriting and updating preexisting ones. We removed one chapter due to lack
of any significant development and have added 17 new chapters. Some of
these are combinations of several previous chapters and four present new
areas of current research and clinical application.
In this complex and extensive endeavor, we were greatly assisted by a
dedicated team of internationally recognized experts who have generously
and enthusiastically participated in this venture despite their enormous
responsibilities and hectic schedules. But the overwhelming challenge we
had to face and survive was the once in a century pandemic that overshadowed almost everything that we had to do personally or professionally. Our
deadlines had to shift several times. We are very grateful to Linda Franta, our
highly skilled and dedicated editorial assistant, who organized the work
schedule, continuously acted as the liaison between the editors, the authors
and the publishing house of Springer.
We remain appreciative of the success of the first two editions and hope
that the third edition will be worthy of continuing enthusiastic reception
