Meet-the-Professor SessionsSaturday, March 15, 200812:30 PM–1:30 PMSP1 Diagnosis of Fetal Cardiac AnomaliesCarol Benson, MDLeucadia · South Tower/Level 1After attending this session, participants willunderstand how to evaluate the fetal heart toassess for cardiac anomalies. They will be ableto recognize the various ultrasound views thatare used to assess fetal cardiac anatomy, willrecognize the appearance of an abnormal fetalheart, and will be able to understand some ofthe more common cardiac anomalies that occur.They will also learn about some of the innovativetreatments being performed on fetuses withcongenital heart anomalies that improve theoutcomes for those fetuses.SP2 Update on Ultrasound-Guided Radio FrequencyAblationJohn McGahan, MDOceanside · South Tower/Level 1Following this session, participants will be ableto perform routine radio frequency ablation ofsolid organs, understand methods of avoidingcomplications of radio frequency ablation, andunderstand techniques used to perform difficultradio frequency ablations.SP3 Genetic Sonography After First-Trimester RiskAssessmentDavid Nyberg, MDPoint Loma · South Tower/Level 1Following this session, participants will be ableto correlate a second-trimester anatomic surveyand “genetic sonogram” with first-trimesterscreening results and estimate an overall riskfor fetal aneuploidy. First-trimester screeningresults consider maternal age, nuchal translucencymeasurement, gestational age, and biochemicalvalues of pregnancy-associated plasmaprotein A and human chorionic gonadotropin.Participants will be able to weight individualsonographic markers of the second-trimestergenetic sonogram.SP4 Doppler Ultrasound Versus the BiophysicalProfile in Timing the Delivery of the PretermGrowth-Restricted FetusAnthony Odibo, MDPacific · South Tower/Level 1Following this session, participants will be ableto understand the use of Doppler ultrasoundversus the biophysical profile (BPP) in monitoringgrowth-restricted pregnancies, discuss theutility of Doppler ultrasound versus the BPPin timing the delivery of the preterm growthrestrictedfetus, and evaluate the pros and consof the concept of integrated fetal testing.SP5 Ultrasound and Reproductive MedicineElizabeth Puscheck, MD, MSSolana · South Tower/Level 1After this session, participants will be able todiscuss the role of ultrasound in the initial evaluationand treatment of patients with commonreproductive endocrine and infertility problems.74
