Optimized methodology of caliper positioning for ultrasound measurement of nuchal translucence
Kolářová, Dana ; Kolář, Radim (referee) ; Provazník, Ivo (advisor)
This thesis focuses on the research of methods for first trimester screening of congenital defects of the fetus. Ultrasound markers of aneuploidy, the algorithm of the first trimester screening and brief description of chromosomal aberrations diagnosable in the first trimester of pregnancy are described in the literature search. Nuchal translucency is the most important marker of aneuploidy in the first trimester and the work also deals with the measurement methodology currently used, which was created by the Fetal Medicine Foundation (FMF). The aim is to describe the limitations of the methodology and explain inaccuracies that arise due to FMF recommendations. The biggest drawback of the methodology is the influence of parameters set on ultrasound machines before and during the actual measurement, therefore it is necessary to come with new methodology not affected by them. The new methodology is based on the knowledge of the parameter influence and is independent of parameter settings of ultrasound machines. The final part of the thesis includes a study comparing the standard derivation of measurement results in both methods.
