Comparison of 3 Different Techniques for Calculating Fetal Cardiac Ventricular Volumes From STIC Data Sets Utilizing VOCAL

Manual Trace 15° Inversion Mode 15° P Contour Finder 15° P
Overall 10.5 (8.7 – 12.5) 6.0 (4.9 – 7.2) <0.001* 3.6 (3.0 – 4.2) <0.001*
LVS 15.2 (10.6 – 20.8) 6.1 (3.2 – 9.9) <0.01* 4.8 (3.6 – 6.3) <0.001*
LVD 9.0 (7.5 – 11.5) 6.5 (4.7 – 8.5) ns* 2.5 (1.6 – 3.5) <0.01*
RVS 13.1 (8.6 – 18.6) 5.9 (3.8 – 8.5) <0.05* 4.0 (2.5 – 5.7) <0.001*
RVD 6.1 (3.7 – 8.9) 5.6 (3.9 – 7.6) ns* 3.3 (2.2 – 4.8) ns*

Values of agreement are expressed as mean percent CV (95% CI). Abbreviations are as in Table 1A.
