The Assessment of Fetal Neurobehavior with Four-dimensional Ultrasound: The Kurjak Antenatal Neurodevelopmental Test

The Assessment of Fetal Neurobehavior with 4D Ultrasound: the KANET Test

An evolving challenge for obstetrician is to better define normal and abnormal fetal neurological function in utero, in order to better predict antenatally which fetuses are at risk for adverse neurological outcome. Especially the diagnosis of cerebral palsy remains one of the most difficult and challenging clinical situations in obstetrics. The fact that a large number of cerebral damage occur...

Comparison between antenatal neurodevelopmental test and fetal Doppler in the assessment of fetal well being.

AIMS The primary aim of this study was to compare circulatory changes in the fetal brain under certain pathological conditions with alterations in fetal behavior. PATIENTS AND METHODS A prospective longitudinal cohort study on fetal behavior of fetuses from singleton pregnancies between the 28th and 38th gestational week in the period from March 2009 to October 2011 was undertaken. There were...

assessment of the efficiency of s.p.g.c refineries using network dea

data envelopment analysis (dea) is a powerful tool for measuring relative efficiency of organizational units referred to as decision making units (dmus). in most cases dmus have network structures with internal linking activities. traditional dea models, however, consider dmus as black boxes with no regard to their linking activities and therefore do not provide decision makers with the reasons...

4D Sonography in Assessment of Fetal Neurobehavior

‘Observation of fetal behavior reflects the functioning of the central nervous system, and behavioral assessment of the fetus enables the function of the brain to be examined’.1 The introduction of four-dimensional (4D) sonography techniques would facilitate fetal behavioral assessment in three dimensions in real time during pregnancy. We describe the latest 4D sonographic studies on fetal neur...
