Out now: new episode of the ISUOG Podcast, featuring Dr Balu Vaidyanathan and Prof. Simon Meagher...
🫀 This episode, 'The experts discuss: transposition of the great arteries', is in line with one of the topics in spotlight for this year's ISUOG World Congress. Simon and Balu take the opportunity to zone in on just one of the main fetal cardiac anomalies to provide a thought-provoking academic discussion, a precursor to the highly anticipated scan demonstration from Balu at this year's Congress, on image optimisation for best visualisation of the fetal heart.

Twins aren’t “small singletons.” They follow their own growth path.
This new AJOG paper makes a clear case for using twin-specific charts—to focus care where it’s needed and reduce unnecessary worry.

5. We are trying hard to lobby for statutory regulation, but need your help.
Ultrasound managers please complete the census - the more accurate data we have the better (independent and NHS needed)
