Abstract:
Objective To explore the application value of the real-time three-dimensional ultrasound Bi plane technology in evaluation of the foramen ovale blood in fetus.Methods The coronal plane of inferior vena cava entering the right atrium in 186 normal fetuses were obtained.The dimensions of foramen ovale (DFO) and inferior vena cava at the entrance of right atrium (DIVC) were measured in the coronal plane.The ratio of DFO and DIVC (DFO/DIVC) was calculated.The correlation be tween DFO/DIVC and gestational age was analyzed.Results There was no correlation between DFo/DIvc and gestational age (r=0.228,P＞0.05).There were 155 cases during second trimester (21 28 weeks),and the DFO was (4.46±0.57)mm,DIVC was (4.55±1.22)mm,DFO/DIVC was 1.03±0.22.There were 31 cases during late pregnancy (29-36 weeks),and the DFO was (5.20±0.43)mm,DIVC was (5.90±1.33)mm,DFO/DIVC was 0.92±0.17.The mean 95％ confidence interval of DFO/DIVC was (0.98,1.04),the 95％ normal reference range was (0.80,1.44).Conclusion The coronal plane of inferior vena cava entering the right atrium can be obtained with real-time three-dimensional ultrasound Bi-plane technology,the flow from the inferior vena cava enters right atrium which is divided by the upper atrial septum can be observed,which is important in evaluating the foramen ovale blood.
