Abstract

Fetal congenital anomalies are among the leading causes of perinatal death or survival with disability worldwide. Their accurate antenatal detection employing a range of fetal imaging techniques enables parental choices to be made and for postnatal care of affected babies to be planned. While such prenatal care is well developed in developed countries of the world, it remains poor in many low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). This review article examines the scope of the problem and proffers strategies for service organization and fetal imaging that will improve care in LMIC settings.
发展中国家的胎儿成像和诊断服务——行动呼吁
胎儿先天性异常是全世界围产期死亡或残疾生存的主要原因之一。他们采用一系列胎儿成像技术进行准确的产前检测,使父母能够做出选择,并计划受影响婴儿的产后护理。虽然这种产前护理在世界发达国家很发达,但在许多低收入和中等收入国家仍然很差。这篇综述文章检查了问题的范围,并为服务组织和胎儿成像提供了策略,这将改善低收入家庭的护理。
