The benefits of 3D-4D fetal echocardiography.

چکیده
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 the diagnosis of congenital heart disease, to interdisciplinary management, to parental counseling and to medical personal training.

3D and 4D ultrasound in fetal cardiac scanning: a new look at the fetal heart.
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 interdi...
متن کاملBiological Effect of Modern Fetal Ultrasound Techniques on Human Dermal Fibroblast Cells
Background: Diagnostic ultrasound has been used to detect human disease especially fetus abnormalities in recent decades. Although the harmful effects of diagnostic ultrasound on human have not been established so far, several researchers showed it has had bioeffects in cell lines and in experimental animals. Three-dimensional (3D), four-dimensional (4D), and color Doppler sonography are new te...

متن کاملSpatio-temporal Image Correlation (stic): a New Technique for Fetal Heart Evaluation*
Although congenital heart defect is the most frequent anomaly in newborns, its antenatal detection rate through conventional ultrasound remains low. 3D and 4D ultrasound technology was developed early in the nineties, bringing great benefits in obstetrics, especially in cases of dubious diagnosis at 2D ultrasound. The spatiotemporal image correlation (STIC) is a significant development in the f...

AIM To assess whether four-dimensional (4D) spatiotemporal image correlation (STIC) can provide unique and novel information for diagnosing complex congenital heart diseases. METHODS A dynamic interactive 4D ultrasound system was used to examine 21 fetuses with complex congenital heart diseases and 25 fetuses with no apparent anomalies referred for prenatal diagnosis and management. Data acqu...
