AI Article Synopsis

  • The fetal cerebellum's evaluation using the coronal transcerebellar view is gaining importance in obstetric ultrasound, based on a study of 134 fetuses aged 13-30 weeks.
  • There is a strong correlation between the dimensions measured in axial and coronal views of the cerebellum.
  • The coronal view is easier to obtain, particularly in fetuses between 24-30 weeks, suggesting its potential for further research in abnormal conditions.

Article Abstract

Evaluation of the fetal cerebellum in the axial plane has become an important part of obstetric sonography. We report our experience with an alternate view, the coronal transcerebellar view, in 134 fetuses at gestational ages of 13-30 weeks. There is a linear first-order correlation between axial and coronal transcerebellar diameters. Additionally, the coronal view was more reliably obtained, especially at gestational ages between 24 and 30 weeks. We believe that this view warrants further study, particularly in pathological states.

(1) Objective: We aimed to evaluate the accuracy and efficacy of AI-assisted biometric measurements of the fetal central nervous system (CNS) by comparing two semiautomatic postprocessing tools. We further aimed to discuss the additional value of semiautomatically generated sagittal and coronal planes of the CNS. (2) Methods: Three-dimensional (3D) volumes were analyzed with two semiautomatic software tools, 5DCNS+™ and SonoCNS™.

Accurate standard plane (SP) localization is the fundamental step for prenatal ultrasound (US) diagnosis. Typically, dozens of US SPs are collected to determine the clinical diagnosis. 2D US has to perform scanning for each SP, which is time-consuming and operator-dependent.

Purpose: Current diagnosis of fetal posterior fossa anomalies by sonography and conventional MRI is limited by fetal position, motion, and by two-dimensional (2D), rather than three-dimensional (3D), representation. In this study, we aimed to validate the use of a novel magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique, 3D super-resolution motion-corrected MRI, to image the fetal posterior fossa.

Methods: From a database of pregnant women who received fetal MRIs at our institution, images of 49 normal fetal brains were reconstructed.

Objective: We aimed to determine the normal ranges for biorbital (BOD) and interorbital distances (IOD) during the second trimester in Turkish women with normal pregnancies and to assess the correlation between BOD, IOD, and other fetal craniofacial structures and biometric parameters.

Material And Methods: Our retrospective study comprised 1328 women with singleton normal pregnancies who had undergone ultrasonography (USG) examinations at 19-23 weeks of gestation in the second trimester screening. The measurements of BOD and IOD were obtained with the coronal section of the fetal face at the plane of orbits.

Ultrasound evaluation of the width of the fetal nose.

Prenat Diagn

October 1998

Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Poriya Government Hospital, Tiberias, Israel.

The aim of the study was to construct a normal range for the width of the fetal nose during gestation. The study group included 229 healthy pregnant women with normal singleton pregnancies at 15-42 weeks of gestation. The ultrasound measurements were taken at the level of the lower border of the ala nasi, using the modified coronal view.
