The routine examination of the brain is achieved with axial planes but a dedicated fetal neurosonogram requires additional sagittal views to provide complete view different structures. We describes application 3D US reconstructing technique (oblique technique) that may facilitate evaluation cerebral midline structures at II trimester anatomy scan and improve prenatal diagnosis corpus callosum (CC) anomalies. OT adds information standard studied organ. It allows explore image in two-dimensional plane other than acquired, opening new window. You get on plan then reconstruct it another which can be orthogonal or oblique respect scan. Prospective observational study between March December 2013. Study population: 180 low-risk pregnant women 19-23 weeks gestation undergoing 2D Samsug Medison Accuvix A30 Samsung UGEU 80. have Our sonographer performed head plane. With we obtained CC was visualized as hypoechoic structure. divided four parts: rostrum, genu, body splenium. Due its arched shape structure cannot demonstrated using plane, while coronal enable visualization screen only small portion time. accurately reconstructed from This approach easily demonstration evaluate demonstrates feasibility including an adjunct for second fetus. Using morphology abnormal development obtain accurate pathologies such hypoplasia agenesis.
