Application value of multiple imaging modes of four-dimensional ultrasonic STIC technology in the diagnosis of fetal congenital heart disease

Ultrasonic Suggestive Findings of Complex Congenital Heart Diseases in Highly Selected High-Risk Fetuses During Mid-First Trimester: A Summary of Six Cases.

OBJECTIVE To explore whether ultrasound can identify findings suggestive of fetal complex congenital heart disease in highly selected high-risk fetuses during the mid-first trimester. METHODS A retrospective analysis was conducted on 23 highly selected high-risk fetuses who related to CHD that underwent ultrasound ex...

Value of the Newly Designed Major and Minor Checklists in Diagnosis of Congenital Cardiovascular Disease and Associated Malformation: New Era of Fetal Cardiac MRI.

FCMRI is a useful complementary adjunct to fetal echocardiography, improving diagnostic confidence in complex cases and supporting prenatal counseling, delivery planning, and postnatal management.

Incremental Value of Cardiovascular CT in Neonates and Infants with Congenital Heart Disease: An Integrated Multimodality Imaging Approach

Background: Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) is the first-line imaging modality in neonates and infants with congenital heart disease (CHD), whereas cardiovascular computed tomography (CCT) is generally reserved for selected questions that remain unresolved after echocardiography. We evaluated the incremental diagn...

Evaluating the Accuracy and Efficiency of Virtual Reality Segmentation for Black-Blood Fetal Cardiac MRI.

Spatio-temporal images of annular plane systolic excursion: a study of manual intra-observer reliability and correlation with automated values

Abstract Objectives Longitudinal ventricular function can be assessed by measuring the annular plane systolic excursion at tricuspid (TAPSE), mitral (MAPSE) or septal (SAPSE) level. This information could be useful in obstetrical practice since common maternal-fetal conditions may modify fetal cardiac function. Automat...

Three-Dimensional Ultrasonic Volumetric Assessment of Fetal Liver for Determination of Gestational Age: Correlation with Conventional Parameters

Background: Fetal liver volume can be a precise measure of somatic growth. It represents a sizable part of the fetal abdomen and reflects metabolic and hematological activities at different stages during gestation. Objective: To analyze the pattern of growth for fetal liver volume (FLV) in pregnancies and its relations...
