This intensive course offers delegates full immersion in the subject area. At the end of the two day program delegates should have a basic broad knowledge of advanced ultrasound techniques for the diagnosis of congenital anomalies and a comprehensive understanding of how to assess the fetal nervous system and heart. The traditional lecture program is complemented by interactive sessions.
At the end of the course participants are expected to be able to:
- Recognise the techniques needed to correctly assess fetal anatomy in general and the nervous system and heart in particular
- Recognise and discriminate in between the major features of central nervous system anomalies
- Recognise the echocardiographic features of major congenital heart diseases

- Have a basic knowledge of the outcomes of the different congenital anomalies including in particular nervous malformation and congenital heart diseases
- Recognise the possible role of fetal 3D and 4D ultrasound and magnetic resonance in the assessment of extra-cardiac anomalies
- Recognise the possible role of 4D-echocardiography in the diagnosis of congenital heart disease in the fetus
- Understand the role of ultrasound and magnetic resonance in the identification of congenital infection with a specific focus on cytomegalovirus
