Ta Son Vo (Viet Nam) - 14 Cases

Dr. Vo not only answered 13 cases correctly, but also contributed a COW this year. Thank you so much for your contribution! In his words:

"I am Dr. Ta Son Vo, a fetal medicine specialist at Vinmec Hospital in Hanoi, Vietnam.

I am happy to find out answers for COW because of challenging levels which require combining knowledge not only images but also genetics... and spending lots of time on coming to a conclusion. Moreover, posts on TheFetus help me to gain many valuable experiences and information.

In 2017, I was glad to meet Prof Jeanty when he gave a lecture in Saigon, Vietnam. He strongly encouraged me right from the first time I started solving cases on TheFetus. Prof Jeanty is very dedicated to fetal medicine and fetal ultrasound and I am extremely grateful for his contribution.

Hopefully next year, besides the COW, I could contribute and share my actual cases to the community."
