Fetal cardiac ventricle volumetry in the second half of gestation assessed by 4D ultrasound using STIC combined with inversion mode

3D inversion mode sonography combined with STIC represents a simple and reproducible method for estimating fetal cardiac ventricle volume. This innovative methodology may add to overall evaluation of cardiac volume and function, and improve our understanding of normal and abnormal cardiac structure, as well as the severity and prognosis of cardiac lesions.
