Synopsis

This work explores the feasibility of 4D fetal whole-heart image reconstruction from high resolution 2D multiplanar radial bSSFP acquisitions. High quality 4D reconstructions (1 mm isotropic spatial resolution, ~20 ms temporal resolution) are demonstrated in 3 congenital heart disease cases with distinct cardiac abnormalities. These dynamic, highly detailed visualizations of the fetal heart facilitate prenatal CHD diagnosis and planning for delivery and surgical intervention.
