First Experience in Clinical Application of KANET

Abstract

ABSTRACT Introduction of three- and four-dimensional ultrasound into clinical practice enabled qualitative and quantitative assessment of fetal movements, including the analysis of fetal face expression which is considered to be the mirror of the maturational processes of upper motor neuron. Since, prenatal fetal behavioral patterns are reflections of developmental and maturational processes within the fetal central nervous system, the findings about changes in fetal movements and behavior could leed to the prenatal diagnosis of neurological impairment. Kurjak's antenatal neurodevelopment test (KANET) is the first prenatal test based on the three- and four-dimensional ultrasound examination of the fetus that could be used for the evaluation and prediction of the fetal neurologic status.
