Standardized views of the fetal heart using four-dimensional sonographic and tomographic imaging.

The article describes an approach for the examination of the fetal heart using an algorithm that allows the simultaneous visualization of the standard planes for fetal echocardiography. It discusses the application of the algorithm to volume datasets from fetuses with congenital heart disease (CHD). It also offers images from fetuses with and without CHD, confirmed postnatally by echocardiography, surgery or during autopsy.
