Abstract
A systematic evaluation of the fetal anatomy as part of the second trimester ultrasound examination in pregnancy is useful in detecting pregnancy complications, fetal abnormalities, and genetic diseases. We aim to illustrate the basic and detailed second trimester scan, according to current international and national guidelines, as well as to our own every-day practice in the Department for Prenatal Diagnosis at the University of Tübingen, Germany.
