This is the first time the sensitivity and specificity of the FINE method in fetuses with normal hearts and CHD in the second and third trimesters has been reported. Because FINE identifies a broad spectrum of CHD with 98% sensitivity, this method could be used prenatally to screen for and diagnose CHD.
