EXTEMPORE returns to Bucharest for the 3rd edition of the FETAL EXAMINATION Course, taking place on May 15–16, 2026.
Join us for two days of lectures, live demonstrations, and hands-on sessions focused on the latest in fetal ultrasound and prenatal diagnostics.
Key topics include: early and second-trimester anomaly scans, first-trimester neurosonography, fetal heart evaluation, posterior fossa and CNS anomalies, NIPT and invasive procedures, great fetal anatomical discoveries, and third-trimester assessment including growth restriction and advanced scanning approaches.
Expand your expertise, learn practical techniques, and stay at the forefront of maternal-fetal medicine.

Day 1, May 15
The first day features four focused pre-course modules combined with lectures, live demonstrations, and hands-on learning.
The pre-courses will cover early anomaly scan, use of doppler in fetal assessment, as well as fetal heart and fetal neurosonography in the second trimester.
You will observe real-time scanning performed by expert faculty, gaining practical insights into imaging techniques and diagnostic approaches.
Day 2, May 16
The second day offers a full scientific program with lectures, live scan sessions, and expert discussions across all trimesters.
Key topics include first-trimester diagnostics (US, NIPT, invasive procedures), major fetal anatomical anomalies, neurosonography, thoracic and abdominal pathology, skeletal dysplasias, and third-trimester assessment including fetal growth restriction.
Participants will deepen their knowledge, refine diagnostic skills, and gain practical insights to enhance clinical practice.
In the Scientific Program
Early Anomaly Scan, First-Trimester Neurosonography, and Fetal Face Assessment
Use of Doppler: Techniques and Clinical Applications (FGR, Fetal Distress, Preeclampsia, Twins)
Fetal Heart Assessment: Aortic Arch, Four-Chamber View, Cardiac Abnormalities
Fetal Neurosonography: CNS Assessment, Posterior Fossa Anomalies, Secondary Brain Lesions
First-Trimester Diagnostics: Ultrasound, NIPT, Invasive Procedures
Second-Trimester Anatomical ASSESSMENT: Urinary Tract, Skeletal Dysplasias, Abdominal Wall, Thoracic Pathology, Neural Tube Defects
Third-Trimester Evaluation: Scanning Approach and Fetal Growth Restriction
Live scan demonstrations and hands-on learning throughout the course
Educational Goals:
-
To understand early and second-trimester fetal anomaly assessment, including neurosonography and cardiac evaluation. -
To understand the use of Doppler techniques in monitoring fetal growth, fetal distress, and pregnancy complications. -
To understand first-trimester diagnostic strategies, including ultrasound, NIPT, and invasive procedures. -
To recognize major anatomical abnormalities across the second and third trimesters, including skeletal, thoracic, abdominal, and neural tube defects. - To understand advanced third-trimester scanning approaches, including fetal growth restriction assessment.
- To recognize key findings during live scan demonstrations and integrate them into clinical decision-making.
- To understand practical imaging techniques and hands-on approaches to enhance diagnostic confidence.
- To understand the role and limitations of emerging technologies and innovations in fetal ultrasound in daily practice.
