This intensive course offers delegates full immersion in the subject area. At the end
of the two day program, delegates will have gained broad knowledge of advanced and
recent ultrasound techniques for the diagnosis of congenital anomalies including a
comprehensive understanding of how to assess anomalies of the fetal nervous system
and heart. The traditional lecture program is complemented by interactive sessions, live
demonstrations and the presentation of new hints as recently published in the literature.
