Unilateral Fetal Renal Abnormalities: Are They Really Isolated?
Conclusions—
In fetuses with unilateral renal abnormalities, major anomalies that were not suspected in the second trimester were uncommon. However, patients should be aware of the possibility that other major anomalies could subsequently be identified, and the outcome may depend on more than postnatal renal function.

Study of the Blood Supply Fraction of the Ascending Aorta and Its Effect in Diagnosing Early Ascending Aortic Atherosclerosis
Conclusions—
The blood supply fraction of the ascending aorta decreases with age, and it could be used as a parameter for diagnosis of early atherosclerosis of the ascending aorta. (Source: Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine)

Correlation Between Cervical Lengths Measured by Transabdominal and Transvaginal Sonography for Predicting Preterm Birth
Conclusions—
Women whose cervical lengths are measurable and long on transabdominal sonography may not need transvaginal sonography. Women whose cervical lengths are unmeasurable or short (<2 or <2.5 cm) on transabdominal sonography should undergo transvaginal sonography to measure cervical lengths for prediction of preterm birth.

Evaluation of Fetal First and Second Cervical Vertebrae: Normal or Abnormal?
Conclusions—
The normal C1 and C2 ossification centers may appear to be malaligned due to normal offsetting (lateral displacement) of C1 on C2. An understanding of the normal development of the cervical spine is important in assessing spinal anatomy. (Source: Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine)

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.
