This two-days Conference has two parts, one morning part will be discussing the state of the art gynecological ultrasound and the remaining one and half day will provide insights into the first trimester ultrasound, abdominal and cardiac anomalies as well as common and rare syndromes in 2nd and 3rd trimester and discuss each of these in details. In addition, it is time to discuss the actual role of artificial intelligence in prenatal ultrasound to be better prepared for its use in future. It is targeted on Ob&Gyn specialists, fetal medicine doctors, ultrasonographers and radiologists, prenatal geneticists and practitioners in these fields.
