Summary

Three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound offers direct visualization of fetal midline cerebral structures, outperforming 2D imaging in clarity and sharpness. Transfrontal 3D acquisition provides superior spatial resolution for detailed neurosonography.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Neurosonography
  • Fetal Ultrasound

Background:

  • Two-dimensional (2D) ultrasound is standard for fetal neurosonography.
  • Three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound offers advanced visualization capabilities.
  • Comparing 3D techniques with 2D is crucial for optimizing fetal brain assessment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare sonographic visualization of fetal midline cerebral structures.
  • Evaluate 2D imaging against 3D multiplanar, VCI-C, and transfrontal 3D acquisition.
  • Assess image quality and diagnostic accuracy for key midline structures.

Main Methods:

  • Sixty healthy fetuses underwent 2D and 3D ultrasound (mean gestational age 24 weeks).
  • Sagittal planes were reconstructed using 3D multiplanar and VCI-C from axial data.

  • Compared reconstructed planes with direct transfrontal 3D acquisition and 2D transfontanelle views.

    • Main Results:

    • Midline plane acquisition rates: 88% (multiplanar), 82% (VCI-C), 87% (transfrontal).
    • Transfrontal 3D acquisition yielded the clearest and sharpest images of midline structures.
    • 2D visualization was superior or equal to 3D transfrontal for all parameters; cerebellar fissure detection was highest with transfrontal 3D.

    Conclusions:

    • Transfrontal 3D acquisition offers superior spatial resolution for fetal midline structures despite potential artifacts in axial 3D methods.
    • 3D axial acquisitions are simpler but prone to shadowing.
    • Direct transfrontal 3D visualization is a valuable addition to routine fetal neurosonography.
