‘Pseudo’ ventricular septal defect (VSD) in left ventricular outflow tract view, as depicted by color Doppler. This spatiotemporal image correlation volume dataset of normal fetal heart was acquired with color Doppler imaging and analyzed by color Doppler Fetal Intelligent Navigation Echocardiography. (a) Diagnostic plane shows color signal (blue) from right ventricle crossing over anterior wall of aorta and spilling into left ventricular outflow tract, giving ‘Y’ appearance. (b) After Virtual Intelligent Sonographer Assistance was activated, automatic navigational movements improved echocardiography view and pseudo‐VSD was no longer visualized. No settings (e.g. color threshold, balance) were changed between (a) and (b).
