Color Doppler Fetal Intelligent Navigation Echocardiography (S‐flow Doppler information only): success rates of obtaining nine fetal echocardiography views with appropriate color Doppler information after applying intelligent navigation to 33 normal spatiotemporal image correlation 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 = 33)
n (%) 95% CI (%)
1. Four chamber 30 (91) 76–98
2. Five chamber 33 (100) 88–100
3. LVOT 33 (100) 88–100
4. Short‐axis view of great vessels/RVOT 33 (100) 88–100
5. 3VT* 33 (100) 88–100
6. Abdomen/Stomach 33 (100) 88–100
7. Ductal arch 33 (100) 88–100
8. Aortic arch§ 33 (100) 88–100
9. SVC and IVC 10 (30) 17–48
SVC 26 (79) 62–90
IVC 11 (33) 20–50

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 67% (n = 22) and flow in SVC in 33% (n = 11).

No flow in both inferior vena cava (IVC) and descending aorta in 58% (n = 19), no flow in descending aorta, but flow in IVC in 21% (n = 7), flow in descending aorta, but no flow in IVC in 12% (n = 4) and flow in both IVC and descending aorta in 9% (n = 3).

Flow in descending aorta in 64% (n = 21) and no flow in descending aorta in 36% (n = 12).

§

Flow in descending aorta in 64% (n = 21) and no flow in descending aorta in 36% (n = 12).

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