Color Doppler may complement real-time ultrasound for fetal pericardial effusion at suboptimal angles; leaves open routine adoption pending prospective validation.
Does color Doppler ultrasound improve the detection of pericardial effusion in fetuses compared to real-time ultrasonography?
Color Doppler provides a complementary method to real-time ultrasound for identifying fetal pericardial effusion, particularly when imaging angles are suboptimal.
