Fetal Echo View info
fetal views, anatomy seen, and measurements taken
Fetal View | Anatomy Seen: | Measurements Taken: |
---|---|---|
Fetal Apical four Chamber | • 2 atria • 2 ventricles • MV & TV • IVS & IAS • Pulmonic veins | PW Doppler of MV and TV |
Fetal Subcostal 4 Chamber | • 2 atria • 2 ventricles • MV & TV • IVS & IAS • Pulmonic veins | M-mode: • LV size and function • IVS & posterior wall thickness • RV internal dimension • Sizes of both atria Doppler & color flow of foramen ovale |
Long Axis View of Aorta | • Proximal aorta • Ant. aortic wall continuous with IVS • Posterior aortic wall continuous with AMVL (Same as PLAX view) | PW Doppler & color flow can interrogate AoV for AI and AS |
Long Axis View of Pulmonary Artery | • Shortened RV • PV & PA | PW Doppler & color flow used to evaluate for PI & PS |
Short Axis of Ventricles | • RV & LV • IVS | M-mode: • Ventricular free wall • IVS • Chamber sizes Color flow Doppler used to evaluate for abnormal VSD’s • If found, use PW Doppler to interrogate |
Short Axis of Great Vessels | • RA, RV, LA • TV, PV • PA and DA (Same as adult PSAX aortic level) | M-mode: Measure size of PA • PW and color flow of TV and PV • Also evaluate ductus arteriosus |
View of Aortic Arch | • Ascending aorta • Arch & branches (innominate, LCC & LSA) • Descending aorta • Right pulmonary artery • Foreshortened LA | • Color flow and PW to view velocity of aorta • Used to rule out narrowing of aorta |
View of Ductal Arch | • Ductus arteriosus • PA, aorta • PV, RVOT • AV, TV, LA | Doppler to assess ductus arteriosus |
View of IVC & SVC | • RV, RA, TV • IVC, SVC | PW Doppler and color flow to assess venous flow |
