OBJECTIVE: To establish feasibility and reproducibility of fetal proportion volumetric measurements, using three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound and a Virtual Reality (VR) system. METHODS: Within a population-based prospective birth cohort, 3D ultrasound datasets of 50 fetuses in the late first trimester were collected by three ultrasonographers in a single research center. V-scope software was used for volumetric measurements of total fetus, extremities, head-trunk, head, trunk, thorax, and abdomen. All measurements were performed independently by two researchers. Intraobserver and interobserver reproducibility were analyzed using Bland and Altman methods. RESULTS: Intraobserver and interobserver analyses of volumetric measurements of total fetus, head-trunk, head, trunk, thorax and abdomen showed intraclass correlation coefficients above 0.979, coefficients of variation below 7.51% and mean difference below 3.44%. The interobserver limits of agreement were within the ±10% range for volumetric measurements of total fetus, head-trunk, head and trunk. The interobserver limits of agreement for extremities, thorax and abdomen were -26.09% to 4.77%, -14.14% to 10.00% and -14.47% to 8.83%, respectively. CONCLUSION: First trimester fetal proportion volumetric measurements using 3D ultrasound and VR are feasible and reproducible, except volumetric measurements of the fetal extremities. These novel volumetric measurements may be used in future research to enable detailed studies on first trimester fetal development and growth.
目的:利用三维(3D)超声和虚拟现实(VR)系统,建立胎儿比例体积测量的可行性和可重复性。
方法:在基于人群的前瞻性出生队列中,由三位超声医师在一个单一的研究中心收集了 50 例晚期孕早期胎儿的 3D 超声数据集。V-scope 软件用于对胎儿整体、四肢、头身、头、身、胸和腹进行体积测量。所有测量均由两名研究人员独立进行。采用 Bland 和 Altman 法分析观察者内和观察者间的可重复性。
结果:对胎儿整体、头身、头、身、胸和腹的体积测量进行观察者内和观察者间分析,显示组内相关系数均大于 0.979,变异系数均低于 7.51%,平均差异均低于 3.44%。胎儿整体、头身、头和身的体积测量的观察者间一致性界限在±10%范围内。四肢、胸和腹的体积测量的观察者间一致性界限分别为-26.09%至 4.77%、-14.14%至 10.00%和-14.47%至 8.83%。
结论:使用 3D 超声和 VR 进行孕早期胎儿比例体积测量是可行和可重复的,除了胎儿四肢的体积测量。这些新的体积测量方法可用于未来的研究,以实现对孕早期胎儿发育和生长的详细研究。
