What is The Hard Palate Sweep: a multiplanar 2-dimensional sonographic method for the prenatal detection of cleft palate about?

BACKGROUND: Prenatal diagnosis of cleft palate is challenging. Numerous 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional methods have been proposed to assess the integrity of the fetal palate, yet detection rates remain relatively low. We propose the "Hard Palate Sweep," a novel 2dimensional method that enables clear demonstration of the entire fetal palate throughout pregnancy, in a single sweep, avoiding acoustic shadows cast by surrounding bones. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to assess the feasibility and performance of the Hard Palate Sweep, performed throughout pregnancy. STUDY DESIGN: This was a prospective cross-sectional study performed between 2018 and 2022 in pregnant patients referred for a routine or targeted anomaly scan between 13 and 40 weeks of gestation. The presence or absence of a cleft palate was determined using the "Hard Palate Sweep." This was compared with the postnatal palate integrity assessment. Test feasibility and performance indices, including sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive values were calculated. Offline clips were reviewed by 2 investigators for the assessment of interand intraoperator agreement, using Cohen's kappa formula. The study pr
