A standard fetal echocardiogram consists of several specific views which can be obtained to optimize visualization of different structures and anomalies. They include:
Basic views
- abdominal situs view / transverse view of abdomen
- four chamber view
- left ventricular outflow tract view (or a five-chamber view)
- right ventricular outflow tract view / three-vessel view (3VV)
- three vessel and trachea view (3VT)
Additional views

- aortic arch view
- ductal arch view
- IVC and SVC
- long axis left ventricular outflow tract view
