The limitations of traditional two-dimensional (2D) echocardiography in accurate diagnosis of ventricular septal defect (VSD) prompt the necessity of spatio-temporal image correlation (STIC) technology. Our study attemped to reconstruct the volume data of VSD using STIC rendering mode, and dynamically display the specific location and surrounding structure of VSD, in order to assist conventional 2D echocardiography. A total of 20 fetuses diagnosed as VSD using 2D echocardiography were enrolled in our study. Multiplane imaging mode was applied to obtain 2D four-chamber view, five-chamber view, and main artery short-axis view. STIC rendering mode was performed to collect volume data and visualize the shape, specific location and surrounding structure of VSD. A more detailed VSD classification for 20 VSD cases was identified. Based on the specific location and surrounding structure under STIC images, they were further subdivided into different types. STIC rendering mode intuitively showed the specific shape and surrounding structure of VSD. STIC technology can be used for definite classification and diagnosis of VSD, combining with 2D echocardiography to make a better therapeutic intervention in clinical practice. Clin.

传统二维超声心动图在准确诊断室间隔缺损（VSD）方面存在局限性，这促使了时空图像相关（STIC）技术的必要性。我们的研究试图使用STIC渲染模式重建VSD的容积数据，并动态显示VSD的具体位置和周围结构，以辅助传统二维超声心动图。本研究共纳入20例经二维超声心动图诊断为VSD的胎儿。采用多平面成像模式获取二维四腔心视图、五腔心视图和主动脉短轴视图。应用STIC渲染模式收集容积数据，并可视化VSD的形态、具体位置和周围结构。对20例VSD病例进行了更详细的分类。根据STIC图像下的具体位置和周围结构，将它们进一步细分为不同类型。STIC渲染模式直观地显示了VSD的具体形态和周围结构。STIC技术可用于VSD的明确分类和诊断，结合二维超声心动图在临床实践中进行更好的治疗干预。《临床解剖学》32:408 - 420，2019年。©2019威利期刊公司
