Color Doppler Fetal Intelligent Navigation Echocardiography (color Doppler information only): success rates of obtaining nine fetal echocardiography views with appropriate color Doppler information after applying intelligent navigation to 27 normal spatiotemporal image correlation (STIC) volume datasets using a combination of diagnostic planes and/or Virtual Intelligent Sonographer Assistance (VIS‐Assistance)

Fetal echocardiography view Diagnostic plane and/or VIS‐Assistance (n = 27)
n (%) 95% CI (%)
1. Four chamber 27 (100) 85–100
2. Five chamber 24 (89) 71–97
3. LVOT 26 (96) 80– > 99.9
4. Short‐axis view of great vessels/RVOT 27 (100) 85–100
5. 3VT* 27 (100) 85–100
6. Abdomen/stomach 27 (100) 85–100
7. Ductal arch 27 (100) 85–100
8. Aortic arch§ 27 (100) 85–100
9. SVC and IVC 9 (33) 19–52
SVC 23 (85) 67–95
IVC 9 (33) 19–52

Wald method used to calculate two‐sided CIs for proportions; as true proportion cannot exceed 100%, upper CIs were truncated at 100%.

*

No flow in superior vena cava (SVC) in 74% (n = 20) and flow in SVC in 26% (n = 7).

No flow in both inferior vena cava (IVC) and descending aorta in 70% (n = 19), no flow in descending aorta, but flow in IVC in 22% (n = 6), flow in both IVC and descending aorta in 4% (n = 1) and flow in descending aorta, but no flow in IVC in 4%; n = 1.

Flow in descending aorta in 59% (n = 16) and no flow in descending aorta in 41% (n = 11).

§

Flow in descending aorta in 56% (n = 15) and no flow in descending aorta in 44% (n = 12).

3VT, three vessels and trachea; LVOT, left ventricular outflow tract; RVOT, right ventricular outflow tract.
