The Fetal Neurosonography Masterclass Course is intended to Obstetricians and Radiologists specializing in Prenatal Diagnosis who want to acquire or expand their expertise in fetal brain diagnosis.

 

During the Masterclass the participants will learn the theoretical and practical aspects of the performance of neurosonographic examinations with particular emphasis on the diagnosis and management of brain anomalies.

 

The training will be supported by the use of modern simulation modules many of them developed specially for the Masterclass in conjunction with the Simultec Institute at Sapir Medical Center, a world pioneer in Obstetric Ultrasound Simulation.
