- Abstract
Many rendering modes and types of software have been introduced as tools to aid in the prenatal detection of fetal anomalies. They aim at facilitating the diagnosis, increasing physicians' confidence, and achieving a better understanding of these anomalies. The HDlive silhouette mode is a novel technology, which provides vitreous-like clarity of the fetus and placenta. Through using a shadowing effect, the outlines of structures of interest can be delineated clearly with a simultaneous display of the inner core and structure. It is more beneficial for identifying a normal anatomy and diagnosing complex congenital malformations. Moreover, the shadowing effect allows the operator to observe structures present behind the directly visualized structure, making it more advantageous than the recent advanced rendering modes, such as three-/fourdimensional ultrasound and HDlive. The contralateral side of the same structure and contralateral limbs can also be displayed. In this article, we highlight this rendering mode, focusing on its merits for the visualization of normal fetal structures as well as some congenital anomalies.
