TL;DR
Emerging strategies—including early fetal echocardiography, artificial intelligence–enabled acquisition and interpretation, 3D/4D spatiotemporal image correlation (STIC) with intelligent navigation (FINE), and fetal cardiac MRI—are reshaping prenatal assessment of congenital heart disease as supplementary tools to 2D fetal echocardiography, which remains the mainstay of diagnosis of fetal CHD.
Congenital heart defects (CHDs) are the most prevalent congenital condition globally, affecting approximately 1% of live births and contributing to significant morbidity and mortality. While advancements in diagnostic imaging have improved early detection and management, CHDs remain a leading cause of infant mortality,...

Prenatal diagnosis of coarctation of the aorta (CoA) remains challenging, with low detection rates and high false positive rates. It is unknown whether fetuses that develop postnatal CoA (true CoA) exhibit impaired ventricular strain prenatally or whether fetal cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR)-derived strain can improv...

Transposition of the great arteries (TGA) is one of the most common cyanotic congenital heart defects and is a leading cause of neonatal mortality when unrecognized before birth. Despite improvements in obstetric ultrasound screening, prenatal detection rates for TGA remain lower than for many other major congenital he...

Abstract Background Graphicflow is a commercially available ultrasound technology that uses trajectory-based blood speckle tracking to display intracardiac blood-cell movement in real time during fetal echocardiography. Unlike conventional Doppler ultrasound, which mainly measures blood-flow velocity and direction, thi...
