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.

Inferior vena cava (IVC) agenesis is a rare congenital anomaly that has been implicated in up to 5% of unprovoked deep vein thrombosis (DVT) cases in young men under 30 years old. A venous Doppler ultrasound revealed an extensive right lower extremity DVT.

Bedside cardiac ultrasound showed moderately decreased LV function. It should be kept in mind that on occasions, beta-one agonist can result in increased ventricular ectopy e.g., in severe myocardial ischemia (by increasing myocardial demand), or sometimes with congenital long-QT syndrome. She was intubated.

Methods We retrospectively reviewed children with congenital heart diseases (CHDs) who received trans-axillary arterial catheterizations between January 2019 and February 2023. We aimed ultrasound-guided punctures in the proximal two-thirds of axillary arteries with diameters ≥2 mm to insert 7 cm/4 Fr short introducers.

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.

The heart is a pump and that pump may be faulty either due to congenital problem or an acquired problem. This is an ultrasound (a bit like the type that we use on pregnant women to look at the baby). Broadly speaking there are 3 things that can go wrong with the heart.

During echocardiography, a transducer transmits the ultrasound beam towards the heart. This becomes more difficult in complex congenital heart diseases where the cardiac chamber positions and size may vary. It is used in the emergency department, at bedside, in the intensive care unit as well as in the operating room.
