Fetal & Neonatal Echocardiography

Training Overview

Fetal & Neonatal Echocardiography Training is a comprehensive and practice-oriented educational program designed for pediatric cardiologists, fetal medicine specialists, and imaging professionals involved in the diagnosis and management of congenital heart disease before and after birth. This two-day program provides an in-depth understanding of echocardiographic techniques, interpretation of complex congenital heart lesions, and integration of imaging findings into clinical decision-making.

The course begins with detailed sessions on fetal and neonatal cardiac anatomy, physiology, and common congenital heart defects, emphasizing systematic echocardiographic assessment. Participants learn advanced scanning techniques, including 2D, Doppler, and 3D echocardiography, for accurate diagnosis and monitoring of cardiac function.

Through simulation-based learning, participants practice image acquisition, measurement, and interpretation on advanced fetal and neonatal echocardiography simulators. Hands-on workshops include chamber visualization, valve assessment, flow analysis, and functional evaluation, all under expert supervision.

Case-based discussions and live or recorded echocardiography sessions allow participants to analyze real-world cases, including complex congenital anomalies, arrhythmias, and hemodynamic disturbances. Dedicated sessions cover prenatal counseling, postnatal follow-up, and integration into multidisciplinary care pathways.

Interactive faculty panels provide opportunities for open discussions on decision-making, imaging protocols, and management strategies in fetal and neonatal cardiology. By the end of the program, participants will have developed both technical proficiency and clinical confidence to perform and interpret advanced fetal and neonatal echocardiography.
