Supplement your learning for Exploring the fetal brain and heart.
Join us for this engaging and informative course. Together with a panel of expert speakers from around the world, they will dive into the latest discourse surrounding ultrasound in the exploration of fetal brain and heart. This course offers attendees a valuable opportunity to gain a comprehensive understanding of the new advances in this area and learn how to apply them in practical situations.
Learning Objectives:
-
Apply fetal cardiac imaging techniques to diagnose congenital heart defects, including septal defects, outflow tract anomalies, and valve abnormalities.
-
Interpret genetic findings relevant to cardiac and brain anomalies, and understand their clinical and management implications.
-
Recognise major fetal heart defects (e.g., Tetralogy of Fallot, TGA, HLHS/HRHS, coarctation) and discuss their pathophysiology, imaging features, and outcomes.
-
Identify key brain anomalies such as ventriculomegaly, cerebellar malformations, corpus callosum agenesis, and absent CSP.
-
Understand the diagnostic process and management for microcephaly, intracranial haemorrhage, and evolving brain malformations.
-
Communicate complex findings effectively with families, including prognosis, genetic counselling, and postnatal implications.
