Abstract
Extended views of the fetal heart are helpful additions to the standard screening views in advanced fetal cardiac assessment. These include additional transverse sweeps above the aortic arch and sagittal views of the fetal heart. The transverse sweep above the aortic arch permits visualisation of the innominate vein and head and neck vessels. The systemic venous connections, aortic arch, ductal arch and short axis views of the atrioventricular valves can be visualised in sagittal views. The distinctive branching pattern of the head and neck vessels from the aortic arch can also be demonstrated.
