Course description: 

Essential Views of Fetal Heart Screening is a 2-hour Virtual Speaker-Led Training course that will review the normal fetal embryology and circulation. The course will discuss the fetal heart views that the AIUM and ACR guidelines state should be included in the second trimester OB scan.  These views include the 4-chamber view, left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) view, the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) view, the three-vessel view (3VV) and the three-vessel trachea (3VT) view. The participant will learn how to obtain these views using the “sweep technique” and how to determine if the views show normalcy of cardiac development. Each view will be discussed in detail.
