Fetal 3D Imaging and HDlive Silhouette in Unraveling a Rare Case of Gall Bladder Anomaly with Fetal MRI Correlation

Abstract

Current technology and rapidly evolving Three-dimensional (3D) and Four-dimensional (4D) ultrasound techniques with advanced High Definition live (HD live) application has made Fetal medicine accomplishable. The introduction of high-frequency probes and evolution from hand swept slice acquisition to mechanically oscillating to electronically oscillating transducers with complex post-processing algorithms has led to the visualization of 3D view or real-time 3D view (4D) of fetal structures. In this review, we present a rare antenatal case of duplication of the gall bladder, highlight the utility of 3D/4D imaging and HD live Silhouette aiding in better understanding anatomical relationships, diagnosis, and implication in counseling.
