Four-dimensional echocardiography with STIC enhances multiplanar anatomical evaluation of the fetal heart.
4D echocardiography with STIC offers advanced volume rendering and multiplanar navigation, enhancing the anatomical assessment and potentially the diagnosis of fetal congenital heart disease.
May enhance fetal cardiac evaluation; leaves open prospective validation for congenital heart disease diagnosis.
Four-dimensional ultrasonography is a technology that adds the temporal dimension (motion) to 3-dimensional imaging.1 Four-dimensional visualization of the fetal heart became a practical reality with the incorporation of spatiotemporal image

Volpe et al. (2007) conducted a review in Fetal heart evaluation. Four-dimensional echocardiography with spatiotemporal image correlation (STIC) was evaluated. Four-dimensional echocardiography with spatiotemporal image correlation enables advanced multiplanar and volume rendering modes that enhance the anatomical evaluation of the fetal heart.
