Fetal Ultrasound
Course Description
This course provides an in-depth understanding of fetal ultrasound imaging, covering early fetal development, hemodynamic changes, and structural malformations. Participants will learn advanced ultrasound techniques for assessing fetal behavior, diagnosing growth disorders, and detecting conditions such as IUGR and cerebral palsy. The course also covers the role of Doppler ultrasound in evaluating fetal circulation, fetal heart assessment, and biophysical profiling. Additionally, it explores ultrasound-guided fetal interventions and the use of sonography in diagnosing pregnancy complications, including abortion and cervical incompetence. This training ensures professionals can effectively use ultrasound for prenatal diagnosis and fetal management.
The main objectives of this program are to:
- To understand early fetal development and hemodynamic changes in utero.
- To learn ultrasound techniques for detecting fetal behavioral and structural malformations.
- To understand the use of Doppler ultrasound for assessing fetal blood flow and hemodynamics.
- To gain knowledge on using ultrasound to assess and manage fetal emergencies.
- To learn how to assess fetal phenotype expressions and analyze fetal cells found in maternal blood.
- To understand how to diagnose fetal growth disorders and diagnosing conditions like cerebral palsy.
- To use ultrasound for diagnosis of conditions like IUGR and Cervical incompetence.
- To diagnosis abortions and have sonographic differential diagnosis of types of abortions.
- To use ultrasound for Biophysical profile and Fetal Heart assessment.
- To understand the role of ultrasound in guiding fetal interventional procedures for treatment or diagnosis.
