Electronic spatiotemporal image correlation improves four-dimensional fetal echocardiography

Three- and four-dimensional fetal echocardiography.

The rapid continuing development of 3-dimensional ultrasound imaging technologies has extended capabilities of fetal cardiac scanning beyond 2-dimensional imaging technologies and now provides a wide array of analytic possibilities. The acquisition of the 3D volume information is based on initial application of 2-dimensional imaging techniques including grey scale, Doppler, Power Doppler and B-...

New Insight from Using Spatiotemporal Image Correlation in Prenatal Screening of Fetal Conotruncal Defects

Fetal cardiac function: M-mode and 4D spatiotemporal image correlation.

Fetal cardiac function has been shown to be a marker of disease severity in many conditions, including intrauterine growth restriction, congenital heart defects or disease (CHD), twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome, idiopathic hydrops, fetal arrhythmias, and others. It is often targeted for evaluation of patient management, for providing complete and accurate diagnoses in CHD, for patient counsel...

Evaluation of normal fetal ductus venosus using B-flow imaging with spatiotemporal image correlation and traditional color Doppler echocardiography.

OBJECTIVE To explore the feasibility of using four-dimensional echocardiography with B-flow and spatiotemporal image correlation (4DBF-STIC) imaging technology to detect fetal ductus venosus (DV), and establish the normal reference range for the ductus venosus diameter at 18-40 weeks gestation. METHODS This was a prospective observational study to detect the DV in 354 normal fetuses at 18-40 ...
