Impact of 3D ultrasound on fetal CNS examination
Objective:
An overview of current knowledge about the use of 3D ultrasound examinations for the examination of fetal CNS.
Design:
A review article.
Setting:
Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics, Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry, Palacký University and Faculty Hospital Olomouc.
Methods:
Literary sources related to the subject were used, especially articles indexed by Pubmed-Medline.
Conclusion:
3D ultrasound is currently used for examination of fetal CNS structures that can be only very difficult displayed by conventional 2D ultrasound. The best for technique for visualisation of midline fetal CNS structures, respectively corpus callosum cerebellar vermis, appears to be 3D volume acquisition in a sagittal plane through the sagittal suture or large fontanel with further post-processing in multiplanar mode, OVIX (Samsung), TUI (GE Healthcare) etc.

Fetal Circulation
Two umbilical arteries transport blood from the fetus to the placenta. At the placenta, the blood absorbs oxygen and nutrients while simultaneously eliminating waste products. This oxygen-enriched and nutrient-rich blood then returns to the fetus through one...

When particles with different initial velocities collide, they induce deformation by applying equal and opposite impulses. At the point of maximum deformation, the particles move together with...
