The application of 3D and 3D multislice ultrasound in analysis of limb body wall complex

Objectives: To evaluate 3D and 3D multislice ultrasound technology in analysis of fetal limb body wall complex anomaly (LBWC). LBWC comprises a number of complex defects including abdominal, thoracic, craniofacial, scoliosis, limb defects and short umbilical cord. Methods: Three patients with fetal LBWC anomalies are included in this study. Fetuses were scanned in 2D, and 3D and 3D multislice technique on the Accuvix XQ prior to confirming the type of abnormality. Results: The first patient was reffered at 11 weeks and 3D and 3D multislice ultrasound showed fetal head and face abnormality complete ventral defect…
