title: [Obstetric/Prenatal ultrasound: blessing or burden?].
abstract: Sonography has led to tremendous advances in prenatal care, but these advances have given rise to expectations that cannot always be fulfilled. In consequence, women who hae had children with malformations not detected antenatally have sought legal recourse. By establishing a system of training, certification and quality control at European level, physicians can actively contribute to the advancement of our field while limiting the potential for unnecessary problems.
