First Trimester Ultrasound Essentials: Identify Key Structures and Growth Milestones

Описание: Welcome to Lecture 2 of our First Trimester Ultrasound Course, which is a vital part of the structured Fetal Medicine Lecture Series dedicated to mastering prenatal imaging from conception onward.

In this informative session, we delve deep into the normal anatomy of the first trimester and its crucial sonographic correlations—laying the foundation for early, accurate diagnosis and fetal assessment that is essential for optimal prenatal care.

Join Dr. Wael Saied Tohamy, a highly respected Consultant in Maternal-Fetal Medicine, as he takes you through a meticulous week-by-week breakdown of normal embryonic and early fetal development, using high-resolution 2D and 3D ultrasound images that are carefully selected to highlight important features, along with annotated anatomy and key clinical insights that will enhance your understanding of this critical phase of development.

🔍 In this lecture, you’ll learn how to:
✅ Identify normal sac, yolk sac, and embryonic pole appearances, which are fundamental for assessing early pregnancy viability
✅ Understand growth milestones and embryonic cardiac activity, crucial for monitoring fetal health
✅ Visualize brain vesicles, spine, and early limb formation, giving insight into the developmental process
✅ Assess chorionic and amniotic cavities, which play significant roles in fetal development
✅ Evaluate early biometric markers, including CRL, BPD, AC, and FL, which are essential for determining gestational age
✅ Confirm situs, abdominal wall development, and cord insertion to ensure proper fetal positioning
✅ Interpret early renal, bladder, and genital structures, as these are key indicators of fetal well-being
✅ Detect signs of normal vs. abnormal development at this stage, allowing for timely intervention if necessary

Whether you're a fetal medicine specialist, obstetrician, sonographer, radiologist, or ultrasound trainee, this lecture provides essential knowledge for high-precision first-trimester scanning that can greatly improve patient outcomes.
