Use of new technologies in 1st trimester cardiac scanning

Presentation by Dr Vita Zidere

Dr. Vita Zidere, a renowned expert in fetal cardiac imaging, who has made significant contributions to the field, will talk about use of ultrasound technologies for first trimester cardiac scans. High-frequency transducers are pivotal for enhancing image resolution, allowing for a detailed assessment of the fetal heart. Techniques like Superb Microvascular Imaging (SMI) Doppler have revolutionized the way blood flow and cardiac structures are visualized, offering a non-invasive peek into the minute vascular details crucial for early diagnosis. Furthermore, Advanced Dynamic Flow Doppler has emerged as a valuable tool, providing high-resolution imaging and improving the detection of cardiac anomalies during the critical first trimester.
