Kypros Nicolaides has a good review on the subject of aneuploidy detection in the "White Journal" - Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology, Vol 21 Issue 4 pp 313 - 321. I think this may be what you need.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
