Deep learning denoising reconstruction for improved image quality in fetal cardiac cine MRI

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Purpose This study aims to evaluate deep learning (DL) denoising reconstructions for image quality improvement of Doppler ultrasound (DUS)-gated fetal cardiac MRI in congenital heart disease (CHD). Cine imaging was acquired using a balanced steady-state free precession (bSSFP) sequence with Doppler ultrasound gating.

Prenatal echocardiography diagnosis of a novel combination of bilateral ductus arteriosus and cardiovascular anomalies: a case report and literature review

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

We describe a fetus with prenatal echocardiographic findings of BDA and right aortic arch mirror-image branching (RAA-MIB) combined with congenital heart disease. Prenatal ultrasound diagnosis of BDA is important and requires a combination of 2D grayscale, CDFI, and STIC images to assist in scanning.

Basics of Echocardiography

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

During echocardiography, a transducer transmits the ultrasound beam towards the heart. Echoes received by the transducer from various structures of the heart are analysed by the echocardiograph and a graphical representation displayed on the monitor. This view images the heart from the base to apex long axis view.

Systematic approach to obtain axillary arterial access for pediatric heart catheterizations

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Background Axillary arterial access (AAA) in pediatric heart catheterizations is undervalued. Methods We retrospectively reviewed children with congenital heart diseases (CHDs) who received trans-axillary arterial catheterizations between January 2019 and February 2023. Results We identified 30 patients (66.7% kg (IQR, 2.7–3.7).
