A novel technique to assess fetal corpus callosum by two-dimensional axial plane

ConclusionsThe feasibility of incorporating an evaluation of CC into routine anatomical screening was demonstrated. Additionally, a focused examination of the craniocerebral axial planes exploring CC at the time of central nervous system scanning might facilitate CC anomaly detection.Key Points• Three axial planes with direct CC measurements can detect CC anomalies more accurately compared with indirect CC signs. Besides, this method is simpler, more convenient, and time-saving compared with the sagittal plane.• Assessing fetal CC on the axial plane helps clinicians to diagnose fetuses with abnormal CC.• A prospective single-center study showed that our new technique provides enough diagnostic confidence.
