Linda M. Hopkins, Vickie A. Feldstein

• Obstetric ultrasound (US) is an integral part of fetal surgery for open and minimally invasive techniques. With advances in US imaging, the ability to refine diagnosis, predict prognosis, and contribute to fetal treatment continues to grow. Current research in fetal diagnosis and treatment includes identifying the most reliable sonographic features for determining prognosis before and after surgery.
