The purpose of this pictorial essay is to report on the application of OmniView (GE Healthcare, Zipf, Austria), new 3-dimensional sonographic software, and its application in the prenatal sonographic study of the fetal hard and soft palates. We will show that this novel technique is easy and feasible, requires a limited learning curve, and provides correct volume interrogation of the region of interest. The OmniView algorithm may be useful in training programs, and volume data sets can be interpreted by experts in remote sites. Future prospective studies with consecutive patients will be necessary to evaluate whether the routine application of OmniView will increase the prenatal diagnosis of facial clefting, especially those with isolated palate defects.
本影像学文章旨在报告 OmniView（GE Healthcare，Zipf，奥地利）的应用，这是一种新的三维超声软件，及其在胎儿硬软腭产前超声研究中的应用。我们将展示这种新技术既简单又可行，需要有限的学习曲线，并能正确地对感兴趣区域进行容积检查。OmniView 算法可能对培训计划有用，且体积数据集可由远程站点的专家进行解读。未来需要进行前瞻性的连续患者研究，以评估 OmniView 的常规应用是否会增加面部裂畸形的产前诊断，特别是孤立性腭裂的产前诊断。
