In the fetal cardiac ultrasound examination, standard cardiac cycle (SCC) recognition is the essential foundation for diagnosing congenital heart disease. Previous studies have mostly focused on the detection of adult CCs, which may not be applicable...
BACKGROUND: Congenital heart disease (CHD) is one of the most common birth defects in the world. It is the leading cause of infant mortality, necessitating an early diagnosis for timely intervention. Prenatal screening using ultrasound is the primary...
