Abstract:
Objective To explore the application value of two-dimensional echocardiography with spatio-temporal im-age correlation (STIC) in fetal congenital heart disease (CHD) prenatal ultrasonography. Methods 11 036 hearts of fetus were inspected by severalviews order scanning method and for STIC volume database acquisition and off-line a-nalysis congenital heart disease fetus for autopsy after induced labor or contrast the follow-up results after birth. Re-sults 97 cases with spatio-temp-oral image correlation in 176 cases congenital heart and great vessels exception (dysrhythmias not including) with simple two-dimensional echocardiography,92 cases were accordant (one case with incorporative intracardiac malformation missed diagnosis);in screened congenital heart disease fetus,STIC (n=79) and routine ultrasonography (n=87) took (7.76±2.42) min and (9.68±2.13) min per case,respectively;in dif-ferent gestational weeks,the quality of the images derived from volume datasets were comparable to that directly ob-tained from 2D echocardiography. Conclusion STIC technology can be used as effective supplementary means of 2D echocardiography, and the combination can further improve the prenatal diagnosis of fetal congenital heart disease.
