Neurosonography is a discipline that has gone from the diagnosis of "something is wrong there" to the diagnosis of subtle changes in various parts of the brain.
For more than 30 years, the world community of ultrasound diagnostics specialists, together with specialists from related disciplines, has been trying to understand the development of the human brain. We learn every day, collecting new knowledge by pieces. Our everyday study lies between non-stop communication, discussion, analysis, and tracking of either long-term outcomes or the correspondence of our diagnosis with the results of a biopsy.

The scientific program is focused on Ob&Gyn specialists, fetal medicine doctors, sonographers and radiologists, prenatal geneticists, and practitioners in these fields.
This is the 6th edition of the “Fetal Neurosonography” Course. Join online wherever you are!

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

  • Understand fetal brain anatomy and early development:

    • Identify key anatomical structures of the fetal brain using ultrasound
    • Describe the normal timeline of fetal neurodevelopment and key embryological milestones
  • Interpretation of basic and advanced neurosonography:

    • Apply fundamental and advanced neurosonography techniques in clinical practice
    • Recognize common and rare fetal brain pathologies, including midbrain, hindbrain, callosal, and cerebellar abnormalities
  • Correlate imaging with genetic and molecular findings:

    • Understand the principles of prenatal genetics as they relate to brain development
    • Correlate phenotype with genotype in cases of cortical malformations and genetic syndromes
    • Recognize genetic syndromes that impact cortical structure and function
