Modern prenatal diagnosis of congenital pathology is based not only on high-quality imaging but on an in-depth understanding of underlying pathophysiology, knowledge of key anatomical features, and US markers that should be evaluated for assessment of severity and prognosis. Some anomalies have unique features, others - high variability of anatomical and prenatal manifestation, and we need an optimal diagnostic and clinical approach to all these situations.

This year the Course on Fetal Imaging will provide insights into important issues and complicated diagnostic processes that start after the initial diagnosis of fetal pathology. Meticulously gathered and combined information leads to a complete diagnosis of complicated malformations, better clinical understanding, and more effective consultations. You will learn about secondary injuries of initially normal fetuses - such as those that happen in congenital infections or complicated monochorionic twins.

The course is divided into four sessions. During the first session, we will discuss diagnostic approaches to congenital anomalies that require surgical interventions after birth. Then we will use an utterly “learnable” format of case presentations to discuss common and rare congenital infections. The third session will be devoted to complicated monochorionic twins: how to diagnose rare atypical variants of well-known complications, and also how to assess secondary fetal brain and heart lesions in these situations. At the end of the Course, we will talk about less common congenital malformations, such as skeletal anomalies, fetal genital malformations, and thyroid pathology.

Welcome to use the opportunity to learn from experts in the field and stay ahead of the curve!

This course is dedicated to Ob&Gyn doctors, specialists in prenatal diagnosis and fetal medicine, sonographers, radiologists, and others interested in fetal ultrasound.
