Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The field of fetal medicine has developed dramatically in recent years due to advances in the ability to treat a fetus during the prenatal period, as well as due to significant improvements in genetic and imaging diagnostic capabilities.
Today we are able to discuss not only the anatomical integrity of the various body systems of a fetus, but also their functions.
Beyond this, the improvement in imaging capabilities allows for the understanding of other important components of pregnancy, such as the uterus and placenta, unique fetal conditions, such as intrauterine growth retardation, and unique types of multiple pregnancies.
Beyond the technological improvements that have taken place in the field of ultrasonography, additional imaging tools such as MRI and CT were added and have opened a new world of opportunities.
The combination of advances in imaging capabilities with dramatic advances in genetic diagnosis has changed the field of fetal medicine.
In this Special Issue, we will focus on progress and innovation in fetal imaging.
Prof. Dr. Eldad Katorza
