Fetal atrioventricular valve junction in normal fetuses and in fetuses with complete atrioventricular septal defect assessed by 4D volume rendering

To assess the feasibility and clinical potential of 4D volume rendering of the atrioventricular (AV) valve junction, to standardize the acquisition method, and to display the AV valve junction morphology in normal fetuses and in those with a complete atrioventricular septal defect (AVSD).
