A total of 834 women with uneventful pregnancies were followed prospectively until the 15th week of gestation by TVS to screen for early embryonic malformations. Twenty-eight embryonic anomalies were detected in this series (3.3% ). The median gestational age at diagnosis was 11 (range, 8 to 15) weeks. Two neural tube defects were missed by early TVS screening. Two suspected abdominal wall defects were not confirmed by repeat mid-second trimester abdominal sonography representing 6.7% of all fetal malformations evident by 24 weeks of gestation. The sensitivity and specificity of TVS screening for fetal malformations in this series were 93.3 and 99.7%, respectively. In addition, the role of TCDU also was investigated in these 28 abnormal embryos. TCDU proved to be of

The introduction of three-dimensional (3D)/four-dimensional (4D) sonography with high-frequency transvaginal transducer has resulted in remarkable progress in ultrasonographic visualization of early embryos and fetuses and development of new fields of 3D sonoembryology. With the proper use of this new diagnostic modality and with experienced examiner, both structural and functional development in the first trimester of gestation can be assessed more objectively and reliable.Indeed, new technology moved embryology from postmortem studies to the in vivo environment. Furthermore, there are good reasons to believe that 3D/4D sonography moved prenatal diagnosis of fetal abnormalities from the second to the first trimester of pregnancy. We will try to illustrate it with the number of convincing figures.

Imaging techniques have developed remarkably during the recent years. The technologic progress made in areas of obstetrics has been spectacular. High Definition live (HDlive) ultrasound is the latest novel ultrasound technology that improves both three-dimensional or four dimensional ultrasound images. This paper illustrates the potential of HDlive technology in the study of the embryo and fetus. This technology could be useful in studying the normal embryonic and fetal development, as well as in providing informations for fetuses at risk for specific congenital malformations by confirming normality. HDlive has a great potential in perinatal research and could help to provide a better understanding of the development of the early embryo and the fetus. Also, by providing the natural pictures of the fetus, HDlive could increase the fetal maternal bonding, which is an important element for correct management of the pregnancy. Although its advantages need to be further explored, HDlive represents, in our opinion, an innovative technique and a useful tool for a more realistic visualization of the embryo and the fetus surfaces.
