PSUOG - ultrasonography in obstetrics and gynecology

3D Virtual Tour - PSUOG

Welcome to the Permanent School of Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology a comprehensive program designed to teach ultrasonography in obstetrics and gynecology. The mission of the school is to promote scientific knowledge for its application in daily clinical practice and to share 100% of our experience, with a strong focus on technical and methodological details often overlooked in traditional courses. The school is hosted in a cutting-edge, high-tech facility located in Perugia, one of the most beautiful medieval cities in Italy, home to one of the country’s oldest universities. In this charming environment and inspiring atmosphere, you will enjoy full immersion in the field of prenatal diagnosis and gynecological ultrasound, using the latest premium ultrasound equipment, virtual reality tools and state-of-the-art technologies.

The School training pathway begins with the “Maternal-Fetal Ultrasonography” Diploma, providing thorough diagnostic preparation in maternal-fetal medicine. This course is a prerequisite for enrollment in specialized second-level diploma (Advanced Trainig Programs/Diplomas). Our objective is to reserve these advanced courses and teaching programs for a select group of participants who demonstrate proficiency during the initial mandatory teaching program (Maternal-Fetal Ultrasonography). Consequently, only those who successfully complete the Maternal-Fetal Ultrasonography Diploma will be eligible to attend our residential second-level courses.

Thank you.

At PSUOG, we are committed to delivering cutting-edge education in obstetric and gynecological ultrasound. Our training programs are now further empowered by the integration of Virtual Reality (VR) through the advanced OPUS system.

These technologies represent a significant leap forward in medical training, offering our participants a uniquely immersive, interactive, and data-driven learning experience.

Why VR Make a Difference

Realistic and Immersive Simulations
Trainees can practice ultrasound techniques in highly realistic virtual environments, replicating real-life scanning scenarios without the need for live patients.
Personalized Feedback and Performance Tracking
AI algorithms analyze each trainee’s technique in real time, providing objective, structured feedback and tracking progress over time. This accelerates learning and ensures mastery of key skills.
Safe and Repeatable Practice
Complex cases and rare pathologies can be simulated safely and repeatedly, helping learners gain experience and confidence in handling a wide range of clinical situations.
Bridging the Gap Between Theory and Practice
By combining traditional instruction with hands-on virtual training, participants develop deeper understanding and improved scanning proficiency before entering clinical settings.

A Future-Oriented Approach to Ultrasound Education

Integrating VR into our courses reflects PSUOG’s ongoing commitment to innovation and excellence. We believe that adopting these tools today prepares our students to meet the demands of tomorrow’s medical practice — safer, faster, and more effectively

On-Site Events (Courses and Meetings)

On-Site Training Programs/Diplomas

Diploma in "Maternal-Fetal Ultrasonography"

Based on the experience gained over the years and the valuable feedback from our participants, we have introduced a new, intensive course format starting this year. This one-week intensive version of the Diploma in Maternal-Fetal Ultrasonography offers a more focused and condensed learning experience that we believe will be highly appealing. The program covers a broad spectrum of topics in prenatal diagnosis and maternal-fetal medicine, allowing participants to gain direct live experience with state-of-the-art ultrasound equipment and technology, including virtual reality simulations in a clinical context. The course is designed to be informal and personalized, featuring one-on-one teaching with a balanced structure of theoretical lessons and live ultrasound sessions (approximately 50% each). A distinctive element of this new format is the integration of virtual reality technology, enabling simulated ultrasound scans of both normal and abnormal fetal anatomy. The training follows a structured methodological approach, starting with a basic understanding of ultrasound technology, followed by the study of normal fetal anatomy, and concluding with the analysis of complex and challenging fetal anomalies. For those unable to attend on-site, starting in November (2025), we are also launching a Live Online Version, which includes access to all the theoretical components of the Diploma in real time. Upon completion of the program and successful passing of the final examination, participants will be awarded the Diploma in Maternal-Fetal Ultrasonography. Those attending the Live Online Version will receive a Certificate of Attendance for the theoretical portion of the course.

Advanced Training Programs/Diplomas

Diploma in "First Trimester Ultrasonography"

The Diploma in "1st Trimester Ultrasonography" offers a high level of education. It focuses on the screening of chromosomal anomalies and on the evaluation of early fetal anatomy. Participants receive a high level of training for the evaluation of aneuploidies' risk and fetal anomalies during the first trimester.

Diploma in "Fetal Anomaly Scan"

The Diploma in "Fetal Anomaly Scan" offers a high level of education for the assessment of fetal anatomy and the diagnosis of fetal anomalies. Participants receive a high level training in ultrasound to evaluate fetal anatomy during all gestational ages. This Diploma focuses on the diagnosis of abnormalities involving all the main fetal organs/systems.

Diploma in "Fetal Echocardiography"

The Diploma in "Fetal Echocardiography" offers a high level of education for a detailed assessment of fetal heart from its embryology to its anatomy. This Diploma focuses on the fetal cardiovascular system and participants, with the most advanced ultrasound technologies, receive high level of training for the diagnosis of fetal heart anomalies through the study of pathophysiological aspects.

Diploma in "Fetal Neurosonography"

The Diploma in "Fetal Neurosonography" offers a high level of education for a detailed assessment of the fetal brain from its embryology to its pathophysiology and possible anomalies. This Diploma focuses on the evaluation of the fetal brain during the 1th, 2nd and 3rd trimester of pregnancy and participants receive a high level of training for the diagnosis of fetal brain anomalies.

Diploma in "Maternal-Fetal Hemodynamics"

The Diploma in "Maternal-Fetal Hemodynamics" offers a high level of education in the use of Doppler technology applied to different feto-maternal pathological conditions and used for its management. Participants receive a high level of training for the evaluation of maternal and fetal hemodynamics during all gestational ages with particular attention of IUGR' management.
