Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
From measuring nucal translucency to NIPT for early aneuploidy screening and from second-trimester uterine artery pulsatility to the first-trimester screening for preeclampsia and its prevention using asprin, maternal and fetal medicine are at the forefront of key advancements in early diagnosis. Owing to technological improvements in ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging and the increasing performance of whole-exome sequencing, numerous congenital diseases, malformations, and syndromes are currently or soon to be diagnosed much earlier on during pregnancy, even during the first trimester. These possibilities may lead to the development of new therapies or management protocols, such as the prevention of preterm birth, fetal growth restriction, macrosomia, etc. In this Special Issue, we invite authors to submit papers on new maternal and fetal imaging technologies, advances in prenatal diagnosis, and new insights for maternal and fetal treatment.
