T2  - Sanders' Structural Fetal Abnormalities, 3e
AB  - It  gives  me  great  pleasure  to  write  the  foreword  for  the  new  edition  of  Structural  Fetal  Abnormalities.  The  book  has  an  interesting  history.  In  1970,  I  joined  the  Johns  Hopkins  Department  of  Radiology  as  an  instructor,  on  a  1-year  leave  of  absence  from  my  UK  position  at  Oxford,  and  was  put  in  charge  of  genitourinary  imaging.  Within  a  month,  the  hospital's  woman's  board  announced  the  donation  of  a  bistable  ultrasound  imaging  system  for  use  in  the  women's  clinic.  With  minimal  experience  in  ultrasound,  I  was  asked  to  develop  the  use  of  the  system  and  welcomed  the  opportunity  to  travel  around  the  USA  for  training  and  machine  selection.  I  started  imaging  fetuses,  crudely  assessing  growth  by  measuring  the  biparietal  diameter  and  the  femur  length,  counting  fetal  number,  and  discovering  fetal  lie.  I  even  attempted  to  diagnose  placenta  previa  by  imaging  a  fluid-filled  pessary  placed  around  the  cervix  after  a  "double  setup."  Fetal  anomaly  detection  seemed  a  remote  possibility  because  the  images  were  so  rudimentary.  I  soon  became  fascinated  by  the  technique  and  decided  to  stay  on  when  my  year  away  from  the  United  Kingdom  was  complete.
