THE IMPORTANCE OF ULTRASOUND IN DETECTING EMBRYONIC DEVELOPMENTAL ANOMALIES IN THE EARLY STAGES OF PREGNANCY (5–10 WEEKS)

Abstract

Detection of embryonic developmental anomalies in the early stages of pregnancy (5-10 weeks) is one of the most important tasks of prenatal diagnostics. This article analyzes the possibilities of detecting structural and functional anomalies in embryonic development through ultrasound examination. Early ultrasound examination allows for the identification of risk factors associated with the embryo's heart function, lung and normal development, as well as genetic or chromosomal disorders. The article examines various ultrasound modes (2D, 3D, Doppler) and their diagnostic effectiveness, as well as discusses the clinical significance of the identified anomalies and pregnancy management strategies.
