3D Ultrasound
Chairmen:
C. Welter, Frankfurt (D)
E. Merz, Frankfurt (D)

Course topics:
3D/4D techniques
First steps and spatial orientation
3D/4D application in the first trimester
3D/4D application in the second and third trimesters

Course instrumentality:
Lecture with case studies

Course aim:
Basic course in prenatal 3D/4D ultrasound

11:00 — 13:00
Room:
Harmonie III

Fetal echocardiography
Chairmen:
R. Chaoui, Berlin
U. Gembruch, Bonn

Course topics:
In the fetal echocardiography (FE) course following will be discussed: The basic and extended cardiac examination including the evaluation of the great vessels. The use of color Doppler echocardiography with the special cardiac presets. Indications for FE versus screening examination. Anomalies of the four-chamber view as well as for the great arteries will be explained focusing on hints to easy detect these anomalies. The role of early FE at 11-14 week scan will be discussed and the relationship of heart anomalies with genetic diseases.

Course instrumentality:
Lecture, case studies, interactive quiz

Course aim:
The course participant should be able to interpret the normal finding of the four-chamber view and the great vessels and be familiar with the most common abnormalities.
