He first developed and organized a highly successful series of conferences, "Structural Fetal Abnormalities: The Total Picture." National and international experts came together not only to discuss the ultrasound diagnosis of fetal malformations but also to focus on the "total picture," from the time an ultrasound finding was visualized to the final surgical treatment of the structural abnormality. In essence, this is the information that every maternal-fetal medicine specialist, radiologist, geneticist, genetic counselor, or any professional taking care of a family whose unborn child has been diagnosed with a structural abnormality needs to know. It gives them the essential knowledge they need to provide the family counseling regarding prognosis and appropriate management. The principles of a multidisciplinary approach to a pregnancy complicated by a fetal structural malformation, which were discussed at those first conferences, provided the outline for the first edition of this book. Experts in sonography, perinatology, genetics, neonatology, and pediatric surgery were recruited to complete a comprehensive picture of the diagnosis and management of common structural fetal anomalies detected by obstetrical ultrasound. The second edition, published 10 years later, reflected the marked improvements in ultrasound technology and the growing ability to make a precise genetic diagnosis of fetal conditions.
