Supplement 242: Ultrasound Fetal Cardiac Structured Report Extensions

This supplement introduces new SR template content to the DICOM Standard to address fetal cardiac assessments in echo reports. Current clinical practice and technology for fetal cardiac assessments using ultrasound have progressed since Supplement 78: Pediatric, Fetal and Congenital Cardiac Ultrasound Reports. Clinical practice now includes many more measurements beyond visual assessment, such as measurements of the ventricles, atria, septa and valves, along with measurements of fetal arrhythmia and haemodynamics.
