The potential of four-dimensional (4D) ultrasonography in the assessment of fetal awareness

Aim: The aim of the study was to observe different expressions and movements of a fetal face during investigation of fetal behavior in the second and the third trimester of normal pregnancies, as a probable manifestation of fetal awareness.

Subjects and methods: Over a 6-month period a study was conducted in three centers in Zagreb, Croatia and in Barcelona and Malaga, Spain...

Keywords: Facial expression, fetal awareness, fetal behavior, four-dimensional ultrasound

Normal standards for fetal neurobehavioral developments – longitudinal quantification by four-dimensional sonography

Aim: To construct normal standards for fetal neurobehavioral development using longitudinal observations through all trimesters by four-dimensional sonography.

Subject and methods: A group of 100 healthy normal singleton pregnancies were recruited for longitudinal 4D US examinations to evaluate fetal neurodevelopmental parameters between 7 to 40 weeks' gestation...

Keywords: fetal behavior, Fetal movements, fetal neurological development, four-dimensional ultrasound

Fetal behavior analyzed by ultrasonic actocardiogram in cases with central nervous system lesions

Aims: This study examined whether analysis of fetal behavioral states by monitoring fetal heart rate and movement using an actocardiogram (ACG), could provide prognostic information related to fetal central nervous system (CNS) lesions.

Methods: The ACG simultaneously records fetal heart rate (FHR) and fetal movement bursts composed of spikes of ultrasonic Doppler signals...

The assessment of fetal behavior of growth restricted fetuses by 4D sonography

Aim: To find out whether the quantity of fetal facial expression and quality of body movements can be used as an additional diagnostic criterion for prenatal brain impairment in fetuses with growth restriction.

Subject and methods: A prospective study was conducted in 50 uncomplicated healthy women as control group with reliably dated pregnancies and 50 pregnant women with a growth restriced fetus as study group in the third trimester of pregnancy...
