Abstract: Fetal Intelligent Navigation Echocardiography (FINE) is a method that automatically generates and displays nine standard fetal echocardiography views from volume datasets obtained with spatiotemporal image correlation1, 2. Color Doppler FINE or 5D Heart Color (UGEO WS80A; Samsung Healthcare, Seoul, Korea) allows the same cardiac views to be displayed with color Doppler information3. The Picture of the Month illustrates how the diagnostic planes shown by color Doppler FINE allow a precise diagnosis of hypoplastic left heart with coarctation of the aorta. The images obtained using color Doppler FINE allowed a precise diagnosis of fetal hypoplastic left heart and coarctation of the aorta at 26 weeks of gestation. More details about the case and color Doppler FINE can be found in an accompanying article in this issue of UOG3.
