Fetal Anomaly Scan Methodology - PSUOG

The diagnosis of fetal anomalies is one of the most important and challenging issues in obstetrics and in our clinical practice. The ability to detect fetal pathologies should neither be a sterile exercise of medical skill nor a skill reserved to the aristocracy of obstetrics and fetal medicine.
The diagnosis of fetal anomalies is essential not only to take a decision whether to terminate a pregnancy, but it also helps in avoiding fetal compromises/sequels, choosing the appropriate management for each pathological condition and, in some specific situations, treating the fetus directly in the maternal womb. Nowadays, this awareness shifts our profession into a new era and constantly pushes us to improve our skills.
The philosophy of this video tutorial and of the Permanent School of Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology (PSUOG) is to spread the scientific knowledge for its use in daily clinical practice and to teach 100% of our experience emphasizing technical and methodological details that are often missing in classical courses.
Indeed, this video tutorial is focused on the methodology for the evaluation of the complete fetal anatomy that is the indispensable prerogative for the diagnosis of fetal anomalies. From the PSUOG website, many other videos will be available soon.
Thank you for joining us.
