Why Are Cardiac Defects Being Missed During Routine Screening?
Cardiac defects may be missed in routine screening due to technical limitations, subtle or late-developing abnormalities, and variability in examiner experience, all of which can reduce detection accuracy.
This recorded session captures insights from ISUOG’s world-leading experts as they performed live scanning and shared their experience in real clinical scenarios. Viewers can observe practical techniques, expert decision-making, and real-time application of ultrasound in clinical practice.
