The 20-22 weeks scan
Ultrasound examination is the main method for prenatal diagnosis of fetal defects. All pregnant women should be offered routinely ultrasound scans at 11-13 weeks and again at 20-22 weeks.
The Fetal Medicine Foundation has introduced a process of training and certification to help establish high standards of scanning on an international basis. The Certificate of Competence in the 20-22 weeks scan is awarded to sonographers who can perform the scan competently and have a good knowledge of a wide spectrum of fetal abnormalities.
The book on this second-trimester scan summarizes the incidence, etiology, prenatal sonographic features and prognosis for both common and rare fetal abnormalities and provides the basis of learning for the theoretical component of the Certificate of Competence in The 20-22 weeks scan. You can download free of charge a copy of the book on The 20-22 weeks scan (PDF, 7Mb)
