“…Surface-rendering mode in the coronal plane is useful for imaging the soft tissue surface features of the fetal face and allows rapid evaluation of the presence or absence of facial dysmorphology or clefting. 3D multiplanar imaging allows standardization of the section planes, simultaneous visualization of the three reference orthogonal planes and easy step-by-step analysis in each of the planes 3 . The introduction of 3D/four-dimensional (4D) sonography was a turning point, when surface-rendering mode began to be used to search for facial dysmorphologies and clefts.…”

“…Some researchers 33 suggest that 3D/4D ultrasound of the fetal face does not aid diagnosis; however, others 18,34 have concluded that during routine screening when using 2D imaging techniques, the exa miner needs to image several planes and hence making the examination longer than with 3D/4D scan ning. Specifically, if using 2D imaging techniques to establish the presence of facial abnormalities of lip and nose morphology (facial dysmorphology) both the midsagittal plane and the anterior 'nose-mouth' coronal plane need to be visualized.…”

This paper reviews findings in fetal development research using two-dimensional and four-dimensional ultrasound imaging and how these techniques have been applied to increase understanding of the fetus. The limitations of differences in language and methods used to code and score images between research groups will also be explored, reaching the conclusion that a reliable coding scheme for fetal facial movements is essential. Furthermore, applications of the new technology studies of bonding between parent and fetus, cross-cultural research on fetal facial development and medical applications are discussed.

“…CL, "both unilateral and bilateral, includes clefts involving the alveolus and hard palate anterior to the incisive foramen, namely the embryological primary palate" (Demircioglu et al, 2008). The tested rates of antenatal detection of CL range 21-30% (Rotten and Levaillant, 2004).…”

Diagnosing Cleft Lip Pathology in 3d Ultrasound: A Landmarking-Based Approach

et al. 2015

The aim of this work is to automatically diagnose and formalize prenatal cleft lip with representative key points and identify the type of defect (unilateral, bilateral, right, or left) in three-dimensional ultrasonography (3D US). Geometry has been used as a framework for describing facial shapes and curvatures. Then, descriptors coming from this field are employed for identifying the typical key points of the defect and its dimensions. The descriptive accuracy of these descriptors has allowed us to automatically extract reference points, quantitative distances, labial profiles, and to provide information about facial asymmetry. Eighteen foetal faces, ten of healthy foetuses and eight with different types of cleft lips, have been obtained through a Voluson system and used for testing the algorithm. Cleft lip has been diagnosed and correctly characterized in all cases. Transverse and cranio-caudal length of the cleft have been computed and upper lip profile has been automatically extract to have a visual quantification of the overall labial defect. The asymmetry information obtained is consistent with the defect. This algorithm has been designed to support practitioners in identifying and classifying cleft lips. The gained results have shown that geometry might be a proper tool for describing faces and for diagnosis.
