Know the fetus.(MASTER CLASS)
The driving force in contemporary times behind the need to evaluate the fetus is the desire of parents to know the most about their fetus as early as possible. Medical indications also may dictate when fetal evaluation is conducted and fetal development assessed.
Prior to the development of ultrasound, such assessment was not possible. However, with the advent of ultrasound technology and other developments that have progressively increased its sophistication, ultrasound imaging has become a reality and an increasingly useful tool. It has been advancing at such a rapid rate that fetal imaging has moved from the third trimester to the second, and even to the first. Not only is fetal growth assessed, but some of the intricacies of fetal development are evaluated as well.
The invasive method of fetal evaluation has taken a similar pathway, expanding from amniocentesis to embryofetoscopy to chorionic-villus sampling to analyte markers in maternal blood. The desire to know more continues to drive the field.
Parents and their physicians call for the greatest possible degree of accuracy and information on the developing fetus.
Fetal MRI technology is an additional tool that is fast evolving in fetal medicine to meet this desire.
