The International Society of Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology (ISUOG) is a scientific organization that encourages sound clinical practice, and high-quality teaching and research related to diagnostic imaging in women's healthcare. …
Human placental perfusion measured using dynamic contrast enhancement MRI Open
Objectives To evaluate the feasibility of dynamic contrast enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE MRI) and measure values of in vivo placental perfusion in women. Methods This study was part of the Placentimage trial (NCT01092949). Gadol…
Recent developments in fetal therapy Open
The developments of ultrasound imaging prenatally as well as the implementation of ultrasound screening in pregnancy in most developed countries lead to an increasing number of fetal anomalies to be diagnosed before birth. The issue of fet…

Ultrasound education in the context of <span>COVID</span>‐19: challenges and way forward Open
Almost 2 years have passed since the first case of human infection by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) was documented, and the world is still trying to cope with its consequences on multiple levels. Medical educ…
VP32.01: Raine syndrome: case report and literature review of different antenatal imaging modalities Open
Raine syndrome (lethal osteosclerotic bone dysplasia) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder due to a mutation in FAM20C gene on chromosome 7p22.3 (around 50 cases are reported in the literature; 10 with antenatal findings described). We r…
OC14.09: Assessment of BOLD MRI response in the fetal lung Open
Assessment of lung development and maturity is of utmost importance in prenatal counselling, especially in congenital lung malformations and congenital diaphragmatic hernia. Blood-oxygen-level dependent effect (BOLD) MRI was developed for …
Quantitating skill acquisition with optical ultrasound simulation Open
Objective To investigate and compare the effect of simulator training on quantitative scores for ultrasound‐related skills for trainees with novice level ultrasound experience and expert ultrasound operators. Methods Three novice (comprisi…
OC28.01: Reference ranges for placental perfusion using dynamic contrast enhancement magnetic resonance imaging Open
To date, DCE-MRI is likely the most robust mean to assess organ perfusion in vivo. Our goal was to evaluate the feasibility of dynamic contrast enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE MRI) of the human placenta and to establish normal ref…
EP27.07: The impact of optical ultrasound simulation using automated metrics on skill acquisition in obstetric ultrasound Open
It is acknowledged that the quality of an ultrasound (US) image is operator dependent, reliant on technical ability and breadth of experience. Gaining US experience is challenging for trainees, with teaching often opportunistic and lacking…
EP27.08: The contribution of optical ultrasound simulation and automated metrics on skill acquisition in transvaginal ultrasound Open
Obtaining practical ultrasound skills in gynecology can be challenging for trainees with a long learning curve. Transvaginal ultrasound (TV) scanning is perceived as a more intrusive investigation than transabdominal (TA) and as such the u…
