Clinical application of three-dimensional ultrasonography OmniView technology in the diagnosis of fetal cleft lip/palate / 中华超声影像学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the application value of three‐dimensional ultrasonography OmniView technology in diagnosis of fetal cleft lip/palate . Methods Three‐dimensional volume data was acquired from 100 normal singleton fetuses and 18 cleft lip/palate fetuses ,and was analysed by OmniView technology . Two‐dimensional ultrasonography and three‐dimensional OmniView technology were compared in the displaying rate of different planes of the lip and palate and the diagnosis accordance rate of cleft lip/palate.Results ①ThedisplayingrateofthelipandpalateofOmniViewtechnologywashigherthanthatof two‐dimensional ultrasonography ( the displaying rates were 64% -88% and 30% -65% ,respectively , P 0 .05) . Conclusions Three‐dimentional ultrasonography OmniView technology can improve the displaying rate of the hard and soft palate .The application of this technology in the fetuses who has a high risk of cleft palate may be beneficial to the diagnosis of cleft palate .
