So you may or may not have seen many lectures

0:04

on the first trimester ultrasound before.

0:07

And they often start off with some slides about,

0:10

you know, the anatomy, the uterus, and the

0:12

speed at which embryos grow, and the date when a

0:15

gestational sac arises, and et cetera, et cetera.

0:18

And there's nothing wrong with that, and we'll

0:21

definitely be touching on that a little bit.

0:24

But does that really help us to

0:26

interpret studies on a day-to-day basis?

0:29

And in general, I would, I would say not really.

0:32

So my goal here in this talk is to basically

0:36

propose a framework on how we should actually

0:40

approach the first trimester ultrasound.

0:43

And that goes to what questions

0:45

are we really trying to answer.

0:48

Because they might not be the ones

0:49

you think you're trying to answer.

0:51

And in trying to answer those, how does that

0:54

focus our approach and sort of frame our decision

0:57

making on how we'll be, you know, giving our

1:00

end result, which is the dictation of the case.

1:03

Um, and hopefully this might be kind of a little

1:06

bit of a new way for you to think about this topic.
