Dataset Information

Fetal cardiac ventricular volume, cardiac output, and ejection fraction determined with 4-dimensional ultrasound using spatiotemporal image correlation and virtual organ computer-aided analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The objective of this study was to quantify fetal cardiovascular parameters using spatiotemporal image correlation (STIC) and virtual organ computer-aided analysis (VOCAL).

Study design

A cross-sectional study was performed in normal pregnancies (19-42 weeks) to evaluate ventricular volume, stroke volume (SV), cardiac output (CO), and ejection fraction (EF). The CO was also expressed as a function of estimated fetal weight and biometric parameters.

Results

The following results were found: (1) 184 STIC datasets; (2) with advancing gestation, ventricular volume, SV, CO, and adjusted CO increased, whereas EF decreased; (3) right ventricular (RV) volume was larger than the left ventricular (LV) volume in systole (0.50 vs 0.27 mL; P < .001) and diastole (1.20 vs 1.03 mL; P < .001); (4) there were no differences between the LV and RV in SV, CO, or adjusted CO; and (5) LV EF was greater than the RV EF (72.2 vs 62.4%; P < .001).

Conclusion

Normal fetal cardiovascular physiology is characterized by a larger RV volume and a greater LV EF, resulting in similar LV and RV SV and CO.

Project description:BackgroundAlthough miniscrews are widely used in orthodontic treatment as temporary anchorage devices, their correct and safe placement has attracted little attention. This study aimed to introduce a novel cone beam CT (CBCT) image-based computer aided design and computer aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) template for orthodontic miniscrew implantation and to evaluate the effectiveness of miniscrews implanted under the guidance of this template.MethodsThe CBCT scans of ten patients requiring miniscrews as anchorage were analyzed in NNT software to predetermine the insertion sites of miniscrew implants. The DICOM data of the scans, along with virtual miniscrews acquired in Solidworks software, were imported into Mimics software to construct three-dimensional (3D) images of teeth and bone and to determine the virtual position of miniscrews and 3D virtual templates were designed following consideration of the virtual implantation plans. A STL (Stereolithography) file of the virtual template was output, and the resin template was then fabricated with a stereolithographic appliance (SLA). 24 Miniscrews were then implanted guided by the template and clinical evaluation of their safety and stability, as well as their placement deviations, were made. A dental casts model and cephalometric analysis before and after orthodontic treatment were made to assess the dentomaxillofacial changes.ResultsAll 24 miniscrews had no contact with adjacent roots. 18 miniscrews had a grade I safety score and six had a grade II. The miniscrews were stable at 1, 3, 6, and 9 months after implantation, although there was mild inflammation around two miniscrews. Implantation deviation of miniscrew in the crown was (1.03±0.65) and (1.26±0.72) mm in the apex, on average. Satisfactory dentomaxillofacial changes in 10 patients with these 24 miniscrews as anchorage were acquired.ConclusionsMiniscrews could be implanted in the targeted position safely and precisely when guided by the novel templates, and remained stable during orthodontic treatment. Patients treated with these miniscrews as anchorage in orthodontic treatment acquired satisfactory dentomaxillofacial changes.
