“…After acquisition of the target organ, multiplanar imaging analysis and tomographic imaging analysis are possible. Combination of both transvaginal highresolution sonography and 3D ultrasound [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17] may be a great diagnostic tool for evaluation of three-dimensional structure of fetal CNS.

Abstract:Transvaginal high-resolution ultrasound and three-dimensional (3D) ultraosund have been establishing sonoembryology in the first trimester as well as neurosonography. Fetal brain is rapidly developing and changing its appearance week by week during pregnancy. The brain is the most important organ but it is quite hard to observe detailed structure of this organ by conventional transabdominal sonography. It is possible to observe the whole brain structure by magnetic resonance imaging in the post half of pregnancy, but it is difficult in the first half of gestation and transvaginal high-resolution 3D ultrasound is the most powerful modality. As for brain vascularization, main arteries and veins have been demonstrated and evaluated in various CNS conditions. Transvaginal high-resolution 3D ultrasound can demonstrate cerebral fine vascular anatomy such as medullary vessels and it is greatly expected to estimate neurological prognosis in relation with vascular development during fetal period.

“…This is the case with the films Winnie-the-Pooh and the Honeytree (1966, based on the first two chapters of Milne's Winnie-the-Pooh Book) and Winnie-the-Pooh and the Blustery Day (1968, based on more than one of Milne's Winnie-the-Pooh books 14 ), where the same means are used as in the original: letters are washed away by the flood or wiped away with the wind. In the films, the storytelling is based on turning over the leaves of the book.…”

The starting point of my article is that even though words are translators' tools, the texts they translate often include images, sounds, and movement, too. In other words, translators need media literacy. In the following, I discuss translating picturebooks and films, using different retellings of Disney and Andersen as examples. In addition, I ponder on issues such as text and situation as well as the interaction of the verbal, visual and aural information in the context of translation. MOTS-CLÉS/KEY WORDSpicturebooks and films, retelling, verbal, visual and aural, Disney and AndersenTranslator is like the fabricating fox fabulist of fables: swiftly and wittily she moves from one position to another and keeps out of sight with all her five senses open and ready.

“…Recent advanced 3D ultrasound equipments have several useful functions which can be utilized for fetal CNS assessment; surface anatomy imaging, [4][5][6][7][8] bony structural imaging of the calvaria and vertebrae, 9 multiplanar imaging (three orthogonal view) of the intracranial structure, 4-11 tomographic ultrasound imaging of fetal brain in the any cutting section, thick slice imaging of the intracranial structure, simultaneous volume contrast imaging of the same section or vertical section of fetal brain structure, 11 volume calculation of target organs [11][12][13][14] such as intracranial cavity, ventricle, choroid plexus and intracranial lesions, and three-dimensional sonoangiography of the brain circulation (3D power Doppler, 3D color Doppler and 3D B-flow). 10,14,15 Combination of both transvaginal sonography and 3D ultrasound may be a great diagnostic tool for evaluation of three-dimensional structure of fetal CNS.…”

“…Modern imaging technologies such as transvaginal sonography, [1][2][3] three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15] and advanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) [16][17] have contributed to the prenatal assessment of congenital central nervous system (CNS) anomalies and acquired brain damage in utero. However, management of the condition and counseling of parents are still difficult, because the cause, absolute risk, and degree of resulting neurological deficit cannot be determined with confidence.…”

Abstract:The causes of fetal ventriculomegaly vary. Ventriculomegaly can be caused by not only obstruction of cerebrospinal flow tract but also brain maldevelopment or other reasons. Recent advanced imaging technology and approaching technique of transvaginal sonography have contributed to an accurate prenatal diagnosis and clearly revealed fetal intracranial condition. However, management of the condition and counseling of parents are still difficult, because the initial cause, absolute risk, and degree of resulting neurological deficit cannot be determined with confidence. Ventriculomegaly is evaluated according to atrial width > 10 mm and mild ventriculomegaly is defined as an atrial width of 10 to 15 mm. In ventriculomegaly cases, accurate detection of intracranial structure and additional abnormalities is required. Furthermore, ventriculomegaly may resolve spontaneously or progress during pregnancy. Therefore, detailed neuroscan by advanced imaging technology, detailed extra-CNS scan, longitudinal serial scan during pregnancy are mandatory for proper counseling and management. Longitudinal observation study of not only short-term but also long-term neurological prognosis will be required.Key words: Fetus, central nervous system, ventriculomegaly, prenatal diagnosis. Learning objectives• To know imaging technology for fetal CNS assessment.• To know variety of causes of fetal ventriculomegaly.
