Full Description
This book features the most recent advances in 3D ultrasound of the fetal heart, with an emphasis on practical applications, including both technical and clinical aspects. It presents a detailed description of how to obtain standard views using 3D ultrasound and discusses their accuracy in diagnosis of congenital heart diseases. It also covers such topics as the use of Color Doppler, Inversion Mode, B Flow, Glass Body, and Tomographic Ultrasound Imaging for 3D ultrasound scans, as well as STIC with HDlive and HDlive silhouette and their application, especially in conotrucal anomalies and septal defects. The use of 3D ultrasound in venous connection anomalies and right-sided heart anomalies are also demonstrated in detail. An entire chapter is devoted to applications of 3D ultrasound during the first trimester, including assessment of fetal heart function and functional anomalies. New applications and perspectives are also addressed.
With contributions from leading experts in the field, 3D Ultrasound of the Fetal Heart is a must-read for medical professionals, researchers, and students seeking to master the intricacies of three-dimensional ultrasound for fetal heart assessment. It bridges the gap between foundational knowledge and cutting-edge applications, ensuring a comprehensive and up-to-date understanding of this transformative imaging technique.
