Abstract Objective: To study the clinical value of spatio-temporal image correlation(STIC) technique in congenital heart disease(CHD). Methods: STIC was used to acquire 3D datasets in 22 fetuses, which were diagnosed as CHD with 2D echocardiography. Then the data was analyzed offline. Results: All image quality of the 22 cases was satisfied. After processing the datasets, we acquired not only standard planes, but also some extra planes, which could not be shown in common 2D echocardiography. Conclusion: STIC provides more information for the diagnosis of CHD, and it is a complement for 2D echocardiography.
