A complete study of the fetal heart, including outflow tracks and short axis views, is the most difficult study in sonography, in my opinion. It takes a very good understanding of the normal anatomy, practice and skill to obtain the views in a routine manner. But it is important. As you learn to do these difficult views, keep in mind that occasionally you will come upon fetuses in which you simply can not get good views... and this among group of fetuses will be the ones with anomalies. If one must be able to get the views in normal fetuses before they can ever recognize the abnormal fetus. I recommend getting a good book, Julia Drose's Fetal Echocardiography, W. B. Squanders is one, and Gregory DeVore's two CD ROM set on the fetal heart is also very helpful. Hope this helps, good luck.

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.
