Prenatal Visualization of the Pulmonary and Aortic Valves and Leaflets Is Feasible Using 4-Dimensional Sonography

Conclusions—
Examination of the morphologic characteristics of the semilunar valves using STIC is feasible, which is difficult when using 2-dimensional sonography. With increasing implementation of 4-dimensional sonography, the understanding of rendered images might be useful for anyone practicing fetal echocardiography.
