Ultrasound assessment of insular development in adequate-for-gestational-age fetuses and fetuses with early-onset fetal growth restriction using 3D-ICRV technology.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

This study aimed to evaluate the growth trajectory of the insula in adequate-for-gestational-age (AGA) and early-onset fetal growth restriction (FGR) fetuses and analyze the difference between the two groups using three-dimensional inversion crytal and realistic vue technique (3D-ICRV).

Methods

Singleton pregnant women, with a gestational age ranging from 20 to 32⁺⁶ weeks, who underwent routine examinations at Shandong Maternal and Child Care Hospital between March 2023 and December 2023 were included. The participants were divided into two groups: the FGR and AGA fetuses. Three-dimensional volumes were obtained using transabdominal ultrasound in the transverse section of the fetal hypothalamus based on different gestational ages. 3D-ICRV rendering techn
