Prenatal Diagnosis of Fetal Retroesophageal Left Brachiocephalic Vein With HDlive-Flow Render Mode and Spatiotemporal Image Correlation

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...

Fetal left brachiocephalic vein in normal and abnormal conditions.

OBJECTIVES To establish values of fetal left brachiocephalic vein (LBCV) dimensions during normal pregnancy and determine whether routine assessment of the LBCV may help in identifying fetuses with congenital abnormalities of this vessel. METHODS Fetal LBCV was assessed prospectively during ultrasound examinations in 431 normal singleton pregnancies. The visualization rate of the transverse v...

Aberrant left brachiocephalic vein.

Fig. 1. Magnetic resonance imaging was performed using a 1.5 T MRI scanner (Toshiba Medical Systems; Crawley, UK) with cardiac coil and ECG-gating. Noncontrast-enhanced MRA involved a fast-advanced spin-echo (FASE) sequence. The coronal image illustrates aberrant left brachiocephalic vein (arrowheads), which passes posterior to the left subclavian and common carotid arteries to join the right b...
