The Indian Radiological and Imaging Association (IRIA), Rajasthan Chapter, organised a Continuing Medical Education (CME) programme on the theme “Fetal Imaging” on 9 August 2026 at Hotel Sagar Palace, Bikaner. The programme was designed as an academic and knowledge-sharing initiative focusing on various important aspects of fetal imaging and antenatal ultrasound. Registration for the CME was free but mandatory.
The scientific programme covered a wide range of topics related to the systematic evaluation of the developing fetus. The sessions included detailed discussions on the normal four-chamber view of the fetal heart, abnormal cardiac chamber views and evaluation of the cardiac outflow tracts, providing insights into the role of ultrasound in assessing fetal cardiac anatomy. The programme also addressed the comprehensive evaluation of fetal limbs beyond femur length, highlighting the importance of detailed fetal anatomical assessment.
Further sessions focused on the evaluation of the fetal face, NT/NB scan and beyond, and abnormalities of the fetal brain. These topics provided a broad perspective on fetal imaging and the identification and evaluation of various anatomical findings during pregnancy. The programme was structured to encourage academic learning and discussion around contemporary approaches to fetal ultrasound and imaging.
The CME provided a valuable platform for members of the radiology and medical fraternity to enhance their knowledge, exchange clinical perspectives and engage in focused academic discussions on fetal imaging. With its comprehensive scientific programme covering fetal cardiac, skeletal, facial and neurological assessment, the event reflected the importance of detailed and systematic imaging in prenatal evaluation. The programme also included an inauguration, High Tea, felicitation and networking opportunities, followed by dinner.
Hosted by the Department of Radio-Diagnosis, Sardar Patel Medical College, Bikaner, in association with the Bikaner Chapter of IRIA, the CME represented an important academic initiative under the Rajasthan Chapter of IRIA. The event contributed to continuing professional education while providing an opportunity for participants to come together for learning and knowledge exchange in the specialised field of fetal imaging.
