Innovative approach for first-trimester fetal organ volume measurements using a Virtual Reality system: The Generation R Next Study.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

To investigate the reproducibility of first-trimester fetal organ volume measurements using three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound and a Virtual Reality system.

Methods

Within a population-based prospective cohort study, 3D ultrasound datasets of 25 first-trimester fetuses were collected by three sonographers. We used the V-scope application to perform Virtual Reality volume assessments of the fetal heart, lungs, and kidneys. All measurements were performed by two independent researchers.

Results

Intraobserver analyses for volume measurements of the fetal heart, lungs, and kidneys showed intraclass correlation coefficients ≥0.86, mean differences ≤8.3%, and coefficients of variation ≤22.8%. Interobserver analyses showed sufficient agreement for right lung volu
