Neonatal Cranial Ultrasonography
暫譯: 新生兒顱部超音波檢查

本書清楚地解釋了新生兒顱部超聲檢查的基本知識，涵蓋了從病人準備到篩檢策略及異常分類的各個方面。其目的是使讀者能夠穩定地獲得最高質量的影像並正確解讀這些影像。書中提供了有關該程序本身及正常超聲解剖的重要資訊。標準技術被描述並附有插圖，並強調了補充聲窗的價值。此外，還提到了新生兒大腦的成熟變化及顱部超聲檢查的局限性。書中描述了常見的異常情況並提供了這些異常的分類。引入了一種新的新生兒小腦出血分類。在第三版中，所有的超聲影像都已被替換，以反映影像質量的改善。全新的一章專門介紹多普勒超聲檢查。插圖得到了改善，並新增了插圖。讀者將能夠在線上通過SpringerLink訪問有關顱部超聲檢查程序的高資訊量視頻。本書的緊湊設計使其成為理想且便捷的參考資料，能夠指導初學者理解該技術的基本要素，同時也為更有經驗的從業者提供有用的資訊。

Gerda Meijler, MD, is pediatrician-neonatologist at the Isala Women-Children's Hospital, Zwolle, the Netherlands. She studied medicine at the University of Amsterdam. She did her pediatric and neonatology training respectively at the Wilhelmina Children's Hospital, Utrecht and the Academic Medical Center, Amsterdam. After being a staff-neonatologist at the VU Medical Center, Amsterdam, where she did her PhD study on brain imaging in preterm neonates, she moved to the Leiden University Medical Center in 1999 where she was the principal investigator of the neonatal neuro-imaging group, one of its members being Sylke Steggerda. Together they have further improved neuro-imaging techniques and have introduced the routine use of alternative acoustic windows in cranial ultrasonography. This has resulted in optimizing ultrasound imaging of the neonatal cerebellum. Gerda teaches neonatal neuro-imaging, both in the Netherlands and abroad.

Sylke Steggerda, MD, works as a staff member at the department of neonatology of the Leiden University Medical Center, with a special focus on neonatal neurology and neuroimaging. She performed her medical training at the University of Utrecht and worked as a resident in pediatric neurology at the Wilhelmina Childrens' Hospital in Utrecht. Afterwards she started a residency in pediatrics at the Leiden University Medical Center, where she also completed a sub specialization in neonatology. She performed her PhD study on the neonatal cerebellum in close collaboration with Gerda Meijler who was her research supervisor and is now training other young investigators in neonatal neurology. Sylke teaches neonatal neuro-imaging, both in The Netherlands and abroad.

Gerda Meijler, MD, 是荷蘭茲沃勒的 Isala 婦女與兒童醫院的兒科新生兒科醫師。她在阿姆斯特丹大學學習醫學，並分別在烏特勒支的威廉米娜兒童醫院和阿姆斯特丹的學術醫療中心接受兒科和新生兒科的訓練。在阿姆斯特丹的 VU 醫療中心擔任新生兒科醫師期間，她進行了有關早產新生兒腦部影像學的博士研究，之後於 1999 年轉至萊頓大學醫療中心，擔任新生兒神經影像學小組的首席研究員，其中一位成員是 Sylke Steggerda。她們共同進一步改進了神經影像技術，並在顱部超聲檢查中引入了替代聲學窗口的常規使用，這使得新生兒小腦的超聲影像得到了優化。Gerda 在荷蘭及國外教授新生兒神經影像學。

Sylke Steggerda, MD, 在萊頓大學醫療中心的新生兒科擔任職員，專注於新生兒神經學和神經影像學。她在烏特勒支大學接受醫學訓練，並在威廉米娜兒童醫院擔任兒科神經學住院醫師。之後，她在萊頓大學醫療中心開始了兒科住院醫師訓練，並完成了新生兒科的次專科訓練。她在 Gerda Meijler 的指導下，與其密切合作進行了有關新生兒小腦的博士研究，現在也在培訓其他年輕的新生兒神經學研究者。Sylke 在荷蘭及國外教授新生兒神經影像學。
