It was clear to the editors of this book that the use of ultrasound imaging in gynaecology goes well beyond simple picture recognition. A skilful gynaecological sonographer will bring together scan findings and the clinical scenario to enhance patient care. The editors believe this leads to targeted investigations and, just as importantly, to strategies for non-intervention. This book covers all aspects of the use of ultrasound and also includes chapters on clinical gynaecology, to assist in making the best possible use of the technology.

Just as one could never imagine a cardiologist without a stethoscope, the editors find it impossible to imagine a gynaecologist without an ultrasound scanner. They celebrate this evolution in our clinical practice and hope that this book helps many others to follow.
