Advances on fetal heart imaging and function assessment - lecture with Prof. Julene Carvalho

Prof. Dr. Julene Carvalho from London, UK, talks about the quality of information we can get with ultrasound imaging in order to examine the fetal heart and asses cardiac function. While the anatomy of the heart hasn't changed, the technologies with which we look at the heart certainly have. New imaging techniques help to get a clearer image, and thus clearer information. And new methods to assess cardiac function, like tissue Doppler or speckle tracking, advance cardiac function assessment. This video was recorded in October 2019 and the session was delivered to an international audience during the 29th ISUOG World Congress on Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology (ISUOG), held in Berlin, Germany.
