Fetal Ultrasound of the Ductal Arch

The ductal arch is the communication between the aorta and the pulmonary trunk. The arch sagittal view is considered a standard ultrasonographic view in fetal echocardiography.


After standardization of fetal position in the STIC volume dataset to place the fetus in the exact dorsal supine position, navigating systematically in the volume usually provides a reproducible image from a corresponded movement. Placing the reference dot in the center of the aorta in the four-chamber (4 CH) view in plane A simultaneously displays long axis of the ductal arch in plane B.
