Abstract
Recently, the number of prenatal diagnoses of congenital heart disease has increased, and the skill for fetal echocardiography is required for many pediatric cardiologists. The first step in learning this technique is screening. Checking the position and size of the structures in the four-chamber view and the three-vessel view may help make optimal images for screening, and learning fetal echocardiography. Obtaining a correctly perpendicular section of the fetal chest is key in visualizing clear images. For obtaining other important basic sections, an ultrasound probe must be positioned at the place where the inter-ventricular septum of the four-chamber view is visualized horizontally on the screen. Establishment of the outpatient clinic for fetal echocardiography may increase the opportunity for learning.
