New and advanced features of fetal intelligent navigation echocardiography (FINE) or 5D heart.

ABSTRACT: Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the leading organ-specific birth defect, as well as the leading cause of infant morbidity and mortality from congenital malformations. Therefore, a comprehensive screening examination of the fetal heart should be performed in all women to maximize the detection of CHD. Four-dimensional sonography with spatiotemporal image correlation (STIC) technology displays a cine loop of a complete single cardiac cycle in motion. A novel method known as Fetal Intelligent Navigation Echocardiography (or FINE) was previously developed to interrogate STIC volume datasets using "intelligent navigation" technology. Such method allows the automatic display of nine standard fetal echocardiography views required to diagnose most cardiac defects. FINE considerably simplifies fe
