Abstract:In recent years, several fetal cardiac malformations such as hypoplastic left heart syndrome have been increasingly treated before birth with gradually improved outcome, although the technique is still invasive. We newly developed an automatic delivery system of high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) with real-time 2D-ultrasound imaging analysis to correct cardiac morphologic abnormalities less invasively. The system could be controlled by a computer-based analysis of 2D-ultrasound left ventricular images fo… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
