title: Usefulness of gated three-dimensional fetal echocardiography to reconstruct and display structures not visualized with two-dimensional imaging.
abstract: Cardiac-gated 3-dimensional fetal echocardiography can reconstruct and display cardiac structures and views not visualized with conventional 2-dimensional ultrasonography. This new technique may become an integral part of screening ultrasonography, complementing 2-dimensional fetal echocardiography when real-time imaging is incomplete.
