Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Prenatal diagnosis has revolutionized perinatal care, enabling the early detection of fetal conditions and guiding interventions that profoundly influence neonatal outcomes. Since its inception with the advent of ultrasound and genetic testing, this field has evolved into a multidisciplinary domain integrating advanced imaging, molecular diagnostics, and computational technologies. These advances have not only improved diagnostic accuracy but have also expanded our understanding of the fetal environment and its long-term implications.
This Special Issue aims to explore the latest developments in prenatal diagnosis and their direct and indirect impacts on neonatal health. We seek to highlight cutting-edge research that bridges the gap between prenatal findings and neonatal care, addressing both clinical and technological innovations.
We welcome submissions focusing on novel diagnostic techniques, predictive models for neonatal outcomes, interventional approaches, and ethical considerations in prenatal care. Original research articles, reviews, and case studies that showcase interdisciplinary collaboration are particularly encouraged, fostering a comprehensive understanding of this critical continuum in medicine.
