3D and 4D ultrasound in fetal cardiac scanning: a new look at the fetal heart.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Over the last decade we have been witness to a burgeoning literature on three-dimensional (3D) and four-dimensional (4D) ultrasound-based studies of the fetal cardiovascular system. Recent advances in the technology of 3D/4D ultrasound systems allow almost real-time 3D/4D fetal heart scans. It appears that 3D/4D ultrasound in fetal echocardiography may make a significant contribution to interdisciplinary management team consultation, health delivery systems, parental counseling, and professional training. Our aim is to review the state of the art in 3D/4D fetal echocardiography through the literature and index cases of normal and anomalous fetal hearts.

متن کاملThe benefits of 3D-4D fetal echocardiography.
In the last decade 3D and live 3D ultrasound or the so called 4D (3D/4D) in examination of the fetal heart evolved very rapidly with the development of the new technique called Spatiotemporal Image Corelation - STIC, which enables the aquisition of a volume data concomitent with the beating heart. It appears that 3D/4D ultrasound in fetal echocardiography may make an important contribution to t...
متن کاملFetal Heart Assessment Using Three-dimensional Ultrasound
Cardiac anatomy is complex and often difficult to visualize or comprehend. 3D echocardiography is an area undergoing rapid development that represents a natural extension of conventional sonography methods which require integrating a series of 2D image slices to develop a 3D impression of underlying anatomy or pathology. This paper will review some of the basic concepts behind three-dimensional...
