Fetal Anomalies: Brain and Heart
Discover the latest research on screening and diagnosis of Fetal Anomalies: Brain and Heart at ISUOG2024.
May 2024 UOG Highlights
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.
AI's Potential to Improve Fetal Cardiology
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.
April 2024 UOG Highlights
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.
