The application of 3D Multislice Ultrasound in analysis of Fetal Urinary Tract Abnormalities

Objectives : To evaluate 3D multislice ultrasound technology in detection of fetal urinary tract anomalies. Methods : Twentyfive patients with fetal urinary tract anomalies are included in this study. Fetuses were scanned in 2D, and 3D multislice technique prior to confirming the urinary tract abnormality. Fetal kidneys and bladder were analyzed in all 3 planes in 3D multislice mode in order to confirm urinary tract anomaly. Results : In one patient bilateral renal and bladder agenesis detected, associated with other severe anomalies as hydrocephalus, cleft lip, oligoamnion and single umbilical artery. Kariotypi…
