“…More recently, a new technique called fetal intelligent navigation echocardiography (FINE), incorporated to the WS80 ultrasound system (Samsung Corp.) and named 5D Heart ™® , has allowed the automatic generation of standard 2D echocardiographic views using STIC volumes, which has made this process less operator‐dependent. The activation of the Virtual Intelligent Sonographer Assistance (VIS‐Assistance ™ ) software allows for the dynamic exploration of each echocardiographic view …”

Objective:To compare the quality of standard fetal echocardiographic views obtained by four-dimensional ultrasound with those obtained by the simple targeted arterial rendering (STAR) technique, four-chamber view swing technique (FAST), and fetal intelligent navigation echocardiography (FINE/5D Heart ® ) technique.Methods: This was a cross-sectional prospective study that included pregnant women between 22 and 34 weeks of gestation, with normal fetuses. Fetal heart volumes were acquired using spatio-temporal image correlation (STIC) with the fetal spine between 2 and 9 o'clock. The FAST/STAR techniques consist of the manipulation of STIC volumes by drawing OmniView ™ lines to obtain echocardiographic views. The FINE/5D Heart® technique uses intelligent navigation to automatically generate echocardiographic views. The quality of the images was classified as excellent, good, acceptable, and unacceptable. The analysis was performed using the Bonferroni multiple comparisons test. Results:The study included 101 pregnant women aged between 16 and 44 years.There was no mean difference in image quality between the techniques regarding fetal spine position in all echocardiographic views (P > .05). However, in the fivechamber, left ventricular outflow tract, right ventricular outflow tract, ductal arch, superior vena cava/inferior vena cava, and abdomen/stomach views, there was a statistically significant mean difference quality between the techniques, regardless of the spine position (P < .05). The best mean image quality was obtained by the FINE technique (P ≤ .016 for all fetal echocardiographic views). Conclusion:The quality of the echocardiographic views obtained using the FINE technique was superior to that of those generated by the FAST/STAR techniques in normal fetuses.

What's already known about this topic? Three‐dimensional (3‐D) virtual and physical models based on magnetic resonance imaging or ultrasonography data have been used to model normal and abnormal fetuses. 3‐D virtual navigation has been used to model fetal cervical teratomas and lower urinary tract obstruction, and it possibly has clinical applications. What does this study add? 3‐D physical models and virtual navigation based on the ultrasonography data of a normal fetal heart.

Spatiotemporal image correlation (STIC) is a technique that acquires the fetal cardiac volumes, and then analyzes it offline in both multiplanar and rendered modes, using both static and moving images from a four-dimensional (4D) cine sequence simulating a full cardiac cycle. Spatiotemporal image correlation makes it possible to evaluate cardiac structures and their vascular connections, is less operator dependent, and allows cardiac volumes to be sent to specialists in tertiary centers for examination. Spatiotemporal image correlation can be combined with other software techniques, such as virtual organ computer-aided analysis (VOCAL) and automatic volume calculation (SonoAVC), to calculate cardiac function parameters. It can also be used in association with Omniview® in order to obtain standard echocardiographic planes using simple targets arterial rendering (STAR) and four-chamber view and swing technique (FAST). Recently, fetal intelligent navigation echocardiography (FINE), acquired from 3D STIC volumes, has made it possible to automatically obtain nine standard echocardiographic planes. In this article, we review the chief applications of 4D echocardiography using STIC technique in clinical practice.
