A Rapid and Convenient Fetal Heart Screening Proposal Based on Dynamic Sequential Cross-Section.

Congenital heart defects (CHDs) are a global health burden and a leading cause of infant morbidity and mortality. Fetal echocardiography is currently the best method for diagnosing CHDs prenatally, but it is not yet widely used for all fetuses because it is a time-consuming process that requires a highly skilled sonographer. We propose a dynamic sequential cross-section analysis as a screening method for CHDs; this screening method can systematically evaluate the fetal heart effectively and quickly.
