Join us for our next webinar in Early pregnancy care - what can we learn from the masters?. This free 2-hour long webinar on Wednesday 5 of November will feature an international panel of experts in ultrasound.
This webinar will take place on Wednesday 5 November 2025, led by Prof. Ligita Jokubkiene and sponsored by Samsung.
This course is relevant to obstetricians, sonographers, midwives and anyone involved in ultrasound.
This webinar is available to watch on-demand.
This free webinar is for anyone looking to enhance their skills in early pregnancy assessment, including ectopic pregnancy diagnosis and 3D ultrasound use.
Learning objectives:
1. Gain expertise on how to manage patients with pelvic pain and vaginal bleeding in early pregnancy
2. Improve knowledge on diagnosis of tubal ectopic pregnancy
3. Gain knowledge on how to differentiate normal intrauterine pregnancy from intrauterine ectopic pregnancy
4. Gain knowledge on 3D ultrasound in examining early pregnancy

First trimester ultrasound: the past, the present and the future
Dr Simon Meagher is consultant sonologist at the Perinatal department, Mercy Hospital for Women, Melbourne. He also serves as Medical Director of Monash Ultrasound for Women where he oversees a team of 50 sonologists, sonographers, genetic counsellors, phlebotomists and administrative staff in delivering a tertiary level ultrasound service across south east Melbourne. Dr Meagher has dedicated 30 years of his term as Medical Director, teaching and lecturing in obstetric and gynaecological ultrasound both locally and overseas. He has delivered over 800 lectures, across 17 countries, and 43 cities worldwide. In 2015, he was awarded ‘Sonologist of The Year’ by the Australian society of Ultrasound in medicine (ASUM) in recognition of his teaching skills and his commitment to hands on training within the hospital setting at the Mercy Hospital for Women and for his commitment and contributions to ASUM.
His interest in clinical research has focussed on early pregnancy screening and diagnosis he has published over 100 articles in peer review journals, including 15 articles in the last 3 years focusing on first trimester pregnancy screening and diagnosis. Dr Meagher has described five original sonographic fetal markers during the first and second trimesters of pregnancy. He is now focusing his interest on aneuploidy and embryo development from seven to 10 weeks as we approach the dawn of a new era of genetic screening via free fetal DNA analysis.
Dr Meagher has taken on multiple leadership positions - early in his career as the Chair of the Standards of Practice Committee at ASUM, examiner and executive board member for the ASUM Diploma of diagnostic ultrasound and later as council member of ASUM. Thereafter he served as Chairman of the Victoria Obstetric Sonologists group and on several ISUOG Sub-Committees at the International Society of Ultrasound in Obstetric and Gynaecological Ultrasound.

Prof. Ilan E. Timor is an obstetrician-gynecologist in New York, New York and is affiliated with multiple hospitals in the area, including NYU Langone Hospitals and NYC Health and Hospitals-South Brooklyn Health. He received his medical degree from The Hebrew University of Jerusalem Hadassah Medical School and has been in practice for more than 20 years.
Prof. Timor-Tritsch's original research was in fetal behavior. He wrote some of the original articles on the use of fetal heart rate monitoring to indirectly characterize various fetal sleep states. It was during these years in Cleveland that he developed a keen interest in real-time ultrasound, initially as a tool to assess fetal status, but later as a vehicle for prenatal diagnosis.
Prof. Timor-Tritsch is best known for his work with transvaginal sonography in chronicling normal and abnormal embryonic development. He also pioneered this technique to identify anomalies before they could be adequately visualized with transabdominal ultrasound. Working in parallel with the Trondheim group, Prof. Timor-Tritsch demonstrated the capability of ultrasound in the study of fetal brain development and in the diagnosis, sometimes through transvaginal ultrasound, of a variety of fetal intracranial abnormalities. Adding to the list of accomplishments, he is one of the leaders in utilizing ultrasound adjunctively in invasive procedures, particularly in multiple gestations. Speaking of multiple gestations, he and his colleague, Ana Monteagudo, have authored a book on twins that I often still grab off the shelf to answer an occasional diagnostic question.
