All About Ultrasound

A practical, confidence-building starter for fetal cardiac screening.

Learn how to obtain, optimize, and interpret the core fetal echocardiography views used in routine screening and targeted exams. 

This course breaks down anatomy, physiology, and image acquisition into clear, repeatable steps—so you can move from “finding the four-chamber” to confidently assessing outflows, arches, and flow patterns. Designed for OB/GYN sonographers, MFM teams, and echo techs cross-training into fetal cardiac imaging, it’s all about real-world scanning tips, pitfalls to avoid, and what to do when the view won’t cooperate.

You’ll learn to:

• Determine situs and cardiac position (stomach, aorta/IVC relationships, apex orientation) with a fast, reproducible approach.
• Acquire and optimize the four-chamber, LVOT, RVOT, 3VV/3VT, and ductal/aortic arch views without foreshortening.
• Spot red flags for CHD (chamber/valve asymmetry, axis deviation, great vessel size mismatch, abnormal 3VV/3VT patterns).
• Differentiate normal variants vs. pathology and know when to escalate for a targeted fetal echo.
• Review complex congenital heart defects and how to assess them on fetal echocardiography.
• Apply image optimization (depth, focus, harmonics, TGC, dynamic range) and manage common artifacts.

What’s inside:

• Bite-sized and detailed video lessons

• Case clips covering common and high-yield abnormalities (e.g., AVSD clues, outflow tract anomalies, arch abnormalities)

• Checklists & quick-reference cards (situs flowchart, view-by-view criteria, GA-aware normal ranges)

• Skill checks and mini-quizzes to reinforce pattern recognition

Ideal for: OB/GYN sonographers, MFM sonographers, pediatric/echo techs cross-training to fetal, and clinicians who perform fetal cardiac screening. Ultrasound Education Simplified!
