True to the ISUOG mission, our Basic Training Online Program has been fundamental in giving scan providers a thorough grounding in the use of ultrasound in obstetrics and gynecology.

This podcast episode is both riveting and inspiring as Dr. Daniele Di Mascio, Assistant Professor and Consultant at the Department of Maternal and Child Health and Urological Sciences at Sapienza University of Rome, engages with Professor Aris Papageorghiou , a leading figure figure in Fetal Medicine. Prof. Papageorghiou is the Chief Medical Officer of Intelligent Ultrasound, Editor-in-Chief of the British Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, and the Clinical Research Director of the Oxford Maternal and Perinatal Health Institute.

Only a few days left to grab your early bird tickets for four days of learning, networking, and debating, all dedicated to improving women's health and advancing excellence in the field.

This VISUOG chapter focuses on Persistent Left Superior Vena Cava (PLSVC), the most common form of anomalous systemic venous return in adults. PLSVC results from the in-utero failure of the regression of the left anterior and common cardinal veins.

Two weeks left to secure your spot at the early bird rate for the 34th World Congress!

Congenital heart disease (CHD) has a prevalence of 8.2 per 1000 live births and is a leading cause of infant morbidity and mortality.

ISUOG trustee Prof. Asma Khalil and Prof. John Hyett come together for a new episode of the ISUOG podcast, shining a spotlight on the topic of pre-eclampsia.

The International Society of Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology (ISUOG) is pleased to announce registrations are now open for its 34th World Congress, taking place from September 15-18, 2024, in Budapest. The Congress will bring together ultrasound professionals in obstetrics and gynecology, alongside global leaders in women’s health. Over four days they will explore the latest research, technological advances and clinical applications of ultrasound in women’s health.

The June issue of Ultrasound in Obstetrics & Gynecology includes a systematic review on the trimester-specific diagnostic performance of ultrasound in placenta accreta spectrum, a neuroimaging study investigating brain injury in pregnancies with twin–twin transfusion syndrome, a longitudinal evaluation of cervical stiffness in women who undergo spontaneous preterm delivery and a study comparing the characteristics of ovarian and tubal ectopic pregnancies.

Cervical cancer, a malignancy that arises from the cervix, is the fourth most common cancer in women, accounting for an estimated 604,000 new cases and 342,000 deaths worldwide. The most frequent histotypes are HPV-related squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma.

The culmination of a major international collaboration spanning three years has resulted in the publication of an International Consensus Statement on the use of non-invasive imaging techniques for the diagnosis and classification of pelvic deep endometriosis.

Read the joint consensus statement aiming to guide clinicians involved in treating women with suspected endometriosis during patient assessment, counseling and planning of surgical treatment strategies in the UOG Journal.

May is pre-eclampsia awareness month and May the 22nd is world pre-eclampsia awareness day, where we aim to illuminate this condition, thereby improving outcomes and highlighting the need for increased awareness among health professionals, women and families.

The May issue of Ultrasound in Obstetrics & Gynecology includes a randomized controlled trial on the effect of docosahexaenoic acid supplementation on fetal ductal constriction, a systematic review and meta-analysis examining the performance of externally validated risk-prediction models for pre-eclampsia, a cohort study delineating the ultrasound features of benign and malignant mesenchymal uterine tumors and a study comparing the performance of different fetal weight charts and definitions of fetal growth restriction in predicting adverse outcome. 

Today, we celebrate International Day of the Midwife, recognizing the invaluable contributions and impact of midwives worldwide in improving women’s health.

Prof. Eik-Nes and Assoc.prof Tegnander discuss the crucial role of midwives in supporting pregnant women and their offspring, emphasizing the growing importance of ultrasound in their practice. Focusing on Norway and South Africa, it highlights similarities in midwifery education programs and highlights the benefits of incorporating ultrasound training in South Africa to address rural populations' needs. This inclusion not only benefits communities but also offers environmental advantages.

Malformations of cortical development (MCDs) are neurodevelopmental disorders caused by abnormal development of the cerebral cortex in utero secondary to genetic, infectious or vascular factors. This VISUOG chapter will focus specifically on Group 2 (Barkovich Classification) malformations, which include lissencephaly, cobblestone malformation, and heterotopia. These conditions all result from abnormal neuronal migration.

One of the latest advancements in ultrasound is the incorporation of artificial intelligence (AI). AI-assisted ultrasound imaging applications and tools are being developed to aid medical practitioners in their decision-making in gynecology and obstetrics. The goal is to address longstanding challenges in diagnosis and treatment, ultimately supporting and improving maternal and fetal health.

The April issue of Ultrasound in Obstetrics & Gynecology includes a systematic review on the diagnostic performance of prenatal ultrasound in coarctation of the aorta, a nationwide cohort study on the outcome of multifetal reduction in quadruplet pregnancy, a study validating the IETA-1 model for intracavitary uterine pathology in women without abnormal uterine bleeding and a summary of the findings of a systematic review on cervical cerclage in twin pregnancy.
