Prenatal ultrasound abnormalities of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis with postnatal correlation
This prenatal ultrasound chest abnormalities course from the AIUM presents fetal pathology across three anatomical regions — chest, abdomen, and pelvis — with each module linking prenatal sonographic findings to postnatal outcomes. The training helps clinicians recognise anomalies in utero and understand their significance for counselling, delivery planning, and paediatric follow-up.
Inside this resource
Fetal chest abnormality evaluation
The chest module addresses the sonographic features of congenital thoracic anomalies — congenital diaphragmatic hernia, pulmonary sequestration, and other structural chest pathology that affects neonatal respiratory outcomes. The emphasis is on recognising findings that require planned paediatric intervention at delivery.
Abdominal and pelvic fetal pathology
Fetal abdominal assessment includes interesting cases demonstrating gastrointestinal and abdominal wall anomalies — gastroschisis, omphalocele, and bowel dilatation patterns. The pelvis module covers structural abnormalities with postnatal correlation, linking the prenatal picture to what paediatric teams will manage after delivery.
Postnatal correlation and clinical management
Each module emphasises the connection between prenatal imaging and postnatal management — how the severity of sonographic findings informs family counselling, planned delivery timing, and the paediatric follow-up pathway after birth.
Who this serves
- Obstetric sonographers — develop pattern recognition for fetal chest, abdominal, and pelvic anomalies
- Maternal-fetal medicine physicians — refine prenatal anomaly assessment and postnatal counselling
- Paediatric radiologists — understand the prenatal correlates of neonatal structural pathology
Before you buy

Natalie F. –
Downloaded as a reference before an MFM rotation. The approach to severity assessment and delivery planning is presented clearly and logically.
Priya –
The chest abnormality module is well-structured. Linking prenatal findings to postnatal outcomes helps with family counselling conversations.
Carlos M. –
Practical for sonographers working in obstetric practice. The postnatal correlation approach adds real clinical context to the imaging findings.
Sarah K. –
Good overview of fetal pathology across three anatomical regions. The interesting abdominal cases are well-selected and clinically relevant.
Fatima R. –
Solid content but the chest module alone would justify the purchase — the pelvic section felt less detailed by comparison.
