Quirine Griep

Quirine Griep is a Researcher at Erasmus University Medical Center (Erasmus MC), a leading academic medical center in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. Her academic role centers on advancing prenatal diagnostic techniques, with a specific focus on the critical first trimester of pregnancy.

Her research interests span Prenatal Medicine, Fetal Cardiology, Medical Ultrasound, Reproducibility Studies, and Biostatistics. She investigates the feasibility and reproducibility of fetal cardiac function measurements during the first trimester using innovative ultrasound methodologies, including spatio-temporal image correlation and advanced post-processing techniques. This work aims to enhance early detection of cardiac abnormalities and improve prenatal care protocols.

Her recent publication in Prenatal Diagnosis (2025) demonstrates her commitment to rigorous methodological evaluation in prenatal imaging. The study assessed two ultrasound-related post-processing methods for measuring fetal cardiac function, emphasizing reproducibility through statistical analyses such as Bland-Altman plots. This research contributes significantly to the standardization of first-trimester fetal echocardiography.
