title: The benefits of 3D-4D fetal echocardiography.
abstract: In the last decade 3D and live 3D ultrasound or the so called 4D (3D/4D) in examination of the fetal heart evolved very rapidly with the development of the new technique called Spatiotemporal Image Corelation - STIC, which enables the aquisition of a volume data concomitent with the beating heart. It appears that 3D/4D ultrasound in fetal echocardiography may make an important contribution to the diagnosis of congenital heart disease, to interdisciplinary management, to parental counseling and to medical personal training.
