Assessment of the Fetal Neuromotor Development with the New KANET Test

Development of ultrasound technology, especially of the four-dimensional (4D) ultrasound enabled insight into the fetal neuromotor development that is reflected by the repertoire of fetal activities or fetal behavior. Based on that new technology, the Zagreb group proposed a screening test called the Kurjak Antenatal Neurodevelopmental Test (KANET) (). During several years KANET was applied in almost 2000 fetuses. Results are promising, and the test has demonstrated an ability to recognize normal, borderline and abnormal behavior in fetuses from normal and pathological pregnancies. However, further studies are necessary as well as long-term monitoring of children who are evaluated with KANET in order to determine its clinical value in prenatal identification of children with neurological risk.
