Heart

First trimester ultrasound is an important window of opportunity to assess many maternal and fetal conditions. The improvement of computer technology leading to better ultrasound resolution and our growing knowledge of early fetal anatomy account for an increasing interest towards the first trimester assessment of fetal structure including the heart.
