Abstract
Aims & Objectives: 1) To evaluate Fetal anomolies by 3D/4D Sonography 2) To compare the imaging findings as seen on 2D ultrasonography with 3D /4D Sonography.3) To Compare the 3D /4 D Sonographic findings with Magnetic Resonance Imaging findings.
Summary: In the present study, the sensitivity and specificity of 3D/4D Ultrasound is 94.4% & 88.8% respectively and that of MRI is 98.1% and 90% respectively.
Conclusions: 3D ultrasound is highly sensitive in detecting foetal anomalies and MRI can be used for confirmation in selected cases. The advent of 3D Ultrasound enables Ultrasound to compete with CT and MR imaging for efficiency and rapidity.
