Article Synopsis
  • - Echocardiography in neonates helps identify congenital heart defects and provides a 3-vessel view (3VV) to visualize the relationship between major blood vessels and the thymus gland.
  • - A preliminary study collected and analyzed 1,331 thymus records from both preterm (321) and full-term (1,010) neonates, measuring thymus width, depth, and the thymic 3VV index (TI 3VV).
  • - Findings showed that thymus dimensions correlate with body weight, gestational age, and body surface area; specifically, thymus depth can serve as an effective screening measure for assessing thymus size.
