An unusual case of prenatal diagnosis of right coronary artery to right ventricle fistula with HD‐flow render mode and spatiotemporal image correlation (STIC)

Abstract

Coronary artery fistula is rare in prenatal diagnosis. We have reported a case diagnosis of coronary artery fistula by using high‐definition flow (HD‐flow) render mode and spatiotemporal image correlation (STIC), and then evaluated the postnatal outcomes in our hospital.

“…Employing STIC technology in imaging fetal heart blood flow offers multiple advantages, including diverse imaging techniques, enhanced accuracy, rapid examination duration, and offline data analysis capabilities. 14,15 Employing STIC technology and merging it with HD-Flow imaging results in volume data producing a three-dimensional, regardless of the angle of exploration. 16 Utilizing HD-Flow render mode and STIC, volumetric data are collected, enabling the acquisition of stereoscopic images that depict blood circulation through 3D reconstruction.…”
