三维超声对胎儿肺体积的研究

目的 应用三维超声建立不同孕周胎儿左肺、右肺及总肺体积的正常参考值范围.方法 对正常单胎妊娠16～37周324例胎儿进行肺三维超声体积扫查,采用VOCAL分析软件30°旋转法分别测定左肺及右肺体积,应用相关回归分析拟合左肺、右肺及总肺体积随孕周增长的回归方程.结果 正常妊娠胎儿左肺、右肺及总肺体积三维超声测量值均与孕周高度相关(左肺:r=0.966,P＜0.001;右肺:r=0.973,P＜0.001;总肺:r=0.990,P＜0.001).左肺、右肺及总肺体积随孕周增长的最适方程均为指数曲线回归方程(左肺:y=0.207exp~(0.143X),右肺:y=0.301exp~(0.14X),总肺:y=0.508exp~(0.142X)).结论 三维超声测量16～37周胎儿肺体积的正常参考值为产前诊断肺发育不良提供有价值的参考指标.

Assessment of fetal lung volumes using three-dimensional ultrasonography

Objective To build a nomogram of normal fetal lung volumes (left,right and total)throughout gestational age estimated by 3-dimensional ultrasonography.Methods Left and right lung volumes were assessed in 324 normal and singleton fetuses of gestational age 16-37 weeks by 3-dimensional ultrasonography using the technique of virtual organ computer-aided analysis(VOCAL) at a rotational step of 30 degrees.The relationships between left,right,and total lung volumes,and gestational age were assessed by correlation and regression analysis.Results The right,left,and total lung volumes were highly correlated with gestational age (P＜0.001),and the correlation coefficient was 0.966,0.973 and 0.990respectively.The best-fit exponential curve regression equations of left lung volume was:y=0.207exp~(0.143X);right lung volume was:y=0.301 exp~(0.14X);total lung volume was:y=0.508 exp~(0.142X).Conclusions A nomogram of fetal lung volumes estimated by 3-dimensional ultrasonography from 16 to 37weeks gestation is described,and reference values may be useful for the prenatal prediction of pulmonary hypoplasia.
