Effectiveness of Technology-Supported Ultrasound Training in Prenatal Diagnosis through an Adaptive Image Recognition Training System (AdaptUS).

Background: Prenatal diagnostics, particularly ultrasound examinations, are vital for monitoring fetal development and detecting potential complications. Traditional ultrasound training often lacks adequate focus on image recognition and interpretation, which are crucial for accurate diagnostics. This study evaluates the effectiveness of the AdaptUS module, a technology-supported, adaptive learning platform designed to enhance ultrasound diagnostic skills in prenatal medicine.

Teledidactic peer-tutored musculoskeletal ultrasound training for medical students-the TELMUS study.

Objectives: Despite growing interest in musculoskeletal ultrasound (MSUS), training opportunities are often limited due to staff shortages and disbalances of expertise between rural and urban areas. Teledidactic approaches have the potential to expand access to training opportunities. This study aims to compare the effectiveness of teledidactic peer-tutored MSUS training to a conventional approach.

Peer teachers as ultrasound instructors? - a systematic literature review of peer teaching concepts in undergraduate ultrasound education.

Background: As ultrasound is one of the most utilized imaging procedures in clinical practice in Germany, its integration into undergraduate medical education is imperative. Thereby, the limited availability of qualified instructors is a major challenge. Peer tutors, who are trained to instruct their peers collaboratively, could resolve staff constraints.

Exploring the dynamics of ultrasound training in medical education: current trends, debates, and approaches to didactics and hands-on learning.

Introduction: Medical education, especially in ultrasound training, is undergoing significant changes. This study examines practical issues in ultrasound medical education, emphasizing state-of-the-art teaching methods, their effectiveness, and implementation challenges.

Methods: The study analyzed advancements in ultrasound education, including randomized controlled trials comparing peer-to-peer teaching with traditional faculty-led instruction.

Diagnosis, Management and Outcome of Truncus Arteriosus Communis Diagnosed during Fetal Life-Cohort Study and Systematic Literature Review.

: Truncus arteriosus communis (TAC) is a rare congenital heart defect characterized by a single arterial trunk that supplies systemic, pulmonary, and coronary circulations. This defect, constituting approximately 1-4% of congenital heart diseases, poses significant challenges in prenatal diagnosis, management, and postnatal outcomes. : A retrospective analysis was conducted at the local tertiary referral center on cases of TAC diagnosed prenatally between 2019 and 2024.
