Abstract

Objective: In the present research study, we utilize high-definition live (HDlive) Flow with spatiotemporal image correlation (STIC), HDlive or high-definition live silhouette (HDlive Silhouette) to provide a three-vessel trachea perception of a fetal vascular loop. Case description: Four vascular loops were found throughout 37 months. Three were examined using color Doppler or HDlive Flow with STIC and HDlive or HDlive Silhouette. These techniques clearly showed the spatial relationships of the vascular ring and trachea in real-time. In addition, the abnormality in the left subclavian artery was also examined by HDlive Flow technique. Conclusion: Further, the identification of fetal great vessels and their adjacent structures were detected by HDlive Flow with STIC and HDlive or HDlive Silhouette, especially the three-vessel trachea image of a vascular loop.
