In early pregnancy, ultrasound is vital to confirm heart activity, check gestational age, determine the number of fetuses and assess chorionicity and amnionicity for multiple pregnancy. The scan between 11 and 13 + 6 weeks for nuchal translucency is used to screen for chromosomal abnormalities and major structural malformations. The incidence of multiple gestation pregnancy has increased in recent years due to in-vitro fertilization treatment. In 2016, China reported 0.3 million in vitro fertilization babies through assisted reproductive technology, which accounted for 1.6% of the total live births; the number of in vitro fertilization cycles performed increased from 360 in 2013 to 657 in 2016 per million inhabitants, and the proportion of twins among IVF deliveries was 27.9%. Acardiac anomaly, also called Twin Reversed Arterial Perfusion (TRAP) sequence, is a rare complication of monochorionic multiple pregnancies diagnosed in the first trimester by ultrasound. It is caused by an abnormal vascular anastomoses between the fetuses and is characterized by the presence of a twin embryo with an absent or nonfunctioning heart (“acardiac twin”) and a twin providing perfusion (“pump twin”) with normal appearance. In a series of 24 acardiac anomalies diagnosed between 11 and 13 weeks 6 days, there was spontaneous demise of the pump twin in 9 and obvious abnormalities in 2 between the first and second trimester. In another series of 15 acardiac anomalies diagnosed before 14 weeks, all fetuses which were managed expectantly, died. However survival in fetuses with intrauterine intervention was better. Early diagnosis allows for closer surveillance of the pregnancy and determine the best time for intrauterine intervention to improve the survival rate of the pump fetus.

A gynaecological ultrasound on an adolescent patient can involve a transabdominal (TAUS), transvaginal (TVUS), trans‐perineal (TPUS) or transrectal (TRUS) approach. Following TAUS a TVUS or TRUS may be suitable on an adolescent patient if they are determined to be a ‘mature minor’/Gillick competent and provide informed consent. Legal information on adolescent consent to medical treatment is difficult for sonographers to obtain as current professional guidelines are not sufficiently detailed on the laws of consent to medical treatment and workplace policies are often not specific to adolescent patients. This manuscript provides information on informed consent to medical treatment, ‘mature minor’/Gillick competence determination, Australian and New Zealand legislation for ‘mature minors’ to consent to medical treatment, adolescent psychology and avoiding coercion when obtaining consent.

This study investigated the addition of 3D ultrasound imaging to 2D ultrasound imaging when assessing the fetal spine in the second trimester in relation to: the diagnostic confidence of image assessors in interpretation, sonographer perceptions of the challenges in acquiring 3D images, and the additional time required to acquire 3D images.

This session will run through the why and how of the sequential segmental analysis – that is why we need to be able to ascertain the cardiac anatomy and what strategy to use to do that. I will help demystify this often confusing subject by using images in adult orien-tation, using as simple language as possible and showing you why this is important for all cardiac sonographers to know, even if you do not routinely scan congenital patients.

Common peroneal nerve (CPN) neuropathy resulting in foot drop is a relatively uncommon complication of patients who are positioned in the lithotomy position during surgery, and the most common cause of spontaneous painless foot drop. Although diagnosis is often based on the clinical findings, ultrasound can be used as an efficient and effective imaging tool to identify the cause of CPN neuropathy and other peripheral nerve disorders. In this article, two ultrasound cases of patients with post operation foot drop as a result of CPN neuropathy are presented. The anatomy, ultrasound imaging technique, ultrasound appearance of CPN neuropathy; and potential causes of CPN are described.

Eagle syndrome is a rare disorder that affects four per 10,000 population, with few cases reported throughout the existing literature. Patients who have Eagle syndrome have an elongated styloid process with partial or complete compression to the surrounding structures and vascularity, most commonly involving the internal jugular vein (IJV). Unfortunately, due to the non-specific clinical presentation, a vast array of differential diagnoses arise, making this syndrome difficult to diagnose using ultrasound alone. In this report, I present two recent cases of post intervention bilateral IJV stenting for Eagle syndrome. The study aims to familiarise the reader with Eagle syndrome, ultrasound limitations and differential diagnoses to consider.
