Abstract

 It has been suggested that the assessment of fetal behavior and developmental processes in different periods

of gestation may make possible the distinction between normal and abnormal brain development, as well as early diagnosis of various structural or functional abnormalities. Early detection and prevention of perinatal neurological damage are one the most important tasks of perinatal medicine. Development of modern imaging method, four dimensional sonography, provided us new insight into fetal behavior. The aim of this review is to present prenatal neurologic screening test for the assessment of fetal behavior, based on four dimensional ultrasound. Test is named Kurjak Antenatal Neurodevelopmental Test (KANET). Up to know assessment of fetal behavior using KANET provided very promising results.
