3D ultrasound is a data set that contains a large number o f 2 D p l a n e s ( B -­‐ m o d e images). e.g. If the page of a book is one 2D plane, then the book itself is the en3re data set. The 3 D probe acquire the data by moving a B mode transducer within a housing like a hand held Japanese fan .

✴ “Walking” through the volume is similar to leafing through the pages of a book i.e. walking through the various 2D planes that make up the entire volume. ✴ The Volume can be dissected in any plane, to get “Multiplanar Imaging” Sunday, July 28, 13

ABSTRACT
Cerebellar ypoplasia
Objective To H
evaluate
the accuracy
of fetal imaging
in differentiating between diagnoses involving posterior
fossa fluid collections and to investigate the postnatal
outcome of affected infants.
Methods This was a retrospective study of fetuses with
posterior fossa fluid collections, carried out between 2001
and 2010 in two referral centers for prenatal diagnosis. All
fetuses underwent multiplanar neurosonography. Parents
were also offered fetal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
and karyotyping. Prenatal diagnosis was compared with
autopsy or postnatal MRI findings and detailed follow-up
was attempted by consultation of medical records and
interview with parents and pediatricians.
fluid collections from mid gestation. Blake’s pouch cyst
and megacisterna magna are risk factors for associated
anomalies but when isolated have an excellent prognosis,
with a high probability of intrauterine resolution and
normal intellectual development in almost all cases.
Conversely, Dandy–Walker malformation and vermian
hypoplasia, even when they appear isolated antenatally,
are associated with an abnormal outcome in half of cases.
