OP12.04: A new algorithm for fetal cardiac scanning using volume reslicing modality (3D extended imaging) and spatiotemporal image correlation (STIC)

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...

Spatio-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...

Standardization of the first-trimester fetal cardiac examination using spatiotemporal image correlation with tomographic ultrasound and color Doppler imaging.

OBJECTIVE The challenges of the first-trimester examination of the fetal heart may in part be overcome by technical advances in three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound techniques. Our aim was to standardize the first-trimester 3D imaging approach to the cardiac examination to provide the most consistent and accurate display of anatomy. METHODS Low-risk women with normal findings on first-trimester ...
