Fetal brain imaging is essential for prenatal care, with ultrasound (US) and magnetic resonance (MRI) providing complementary strengths. While MRI has superior soft tissue contrast, US offers portable inexpensive screening of neurological abnormalities. Despite the great potential synergy combined fetal MR to enhance diagnostic accuracy, little effort been made integrate these modalities. An step towards this integration accurate automatic spatial alignment, which technically very...
Fetal adnexal cysts present unique challenges during pregnancy, requiring careful management strategies to mitigate risks throughout gestation and delivery. We the case of a 35-year-old G4P2 patient, referred our center for large cyst confirmed by ultrasound fetal MRI, with calculated volume 210 ml. Given cyst’s size family’s strong preference vaginal delivery, ultrasound-guided aspiration was performed at 35 6/7 weeks, followed an uncomplicated spontaneous delivery 37 2/7 weeks. Two weeks...
To determine whether the presence of a myelomeningocele (MMC) sac and size correlate with compromised lower-extremity function in fetuses open spinal dysraphism.A radiology database search was performed to identify cases MMC myeloschisis (MS) diagnosed prenatally single center from 2013 2017. All were evaluated between 18 25 weeks. Ultrasound reports reviewed for talipes impaired motion. In cases, volume calculated ultrasound measurements. Magnetic resonance imaging hindbrain herniation. The...
Whether cranial vault remodeling surgery for nonsyndromic, isolated sagittal suture synostosis affects the patency of initially normal, unaffected sutures is unknown. The influence coronal and lambdoidal after on trajectory subsequent growth also Disruption normal sutural anatomy during reconstruction could incidence secondary craniosynostosis need reoperation in a small proportion these patients.We performed retrospective review patients younger than 1 year with nonsyndromic treated at...
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to develop soft-tissue and bony anthropometric orbital measurements in a normal pediatric population based upon CT scans. METHODS This retrospective stratified children with ages ranging from birth 36 months. Head images for 204 were available obtained 0.625-1-mm slice widths. Soft-tissue bone windows reviewed. Images oriented the Frankfort horizontal plane, intercanthal (IC), interorbital (IO), lateral (LO) distances measured. Age group stratifications...
To evaluate the influence of stomach position on postnatal outcome in cases left congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) without liver herniation, diagnosed and characterized prenatal ultrasound (US), by comparing those with ('stomach-up' CDH) to ('stomach-down' intrathoracic herniation.Infants CDH who underwent US repair at our institution between January 2008 March 2017 were eligible for inclusion this retrospective study. Detailed examinations, fetal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)...
BACKGROUND: Predictors of relapse to methamphetamine use are poorly understood. State variables may play an important role in relapse, but they have been difficult measure at frequent intervals outpatients. METHODS: We conducted a feasibility study the cellular telephones collect state variable data from Six subjects treatment for dependence were called three times per weekday approximately seven weeks. Seven questionnaires administered that assessed craving, stress, affect, and current type...
Objectives To evaluate the effects of ultrasound contrast agent (UCA) administration on hemodynamic parameters and support equipment in vitro vivo models extracorporeal support. Methods In vitro, incrementally increasing bolus doses a UCA were administered proximal to membrane oxygenator, cine clips obtained. The rates microbubble destruction across oxygenator over time calculated from time‐intensity‐curves. Measurements recorded compared by repeated‐measures analysis variance. vivo, 7...
Objective: Glossoptosis causes airway obstruction in patients with Robin sequence (RS), but little is known about the in-utero tongue. The purpose of this study was to assess shape and position fetal tongue on prenatal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) determine if predictive postnatal RS. Design: Retrospective case-control including fetuses MRIs performed from 2002 2017. Inclusion criteria were (1) MRI adequate quality, (2) live born evaluated postnatally for craniofacial findings. Subjects...
To determine whether an abnormal orientation of the abdominal or hepatic vasculature and gallbladder position on prenatal ultrasound (US) imaging are associated with intrathoracic liver herniation postnatal outcomes in cases congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH).Children who underwent US examinations CDH repair at our institution were eligible. Prenatal images reviewed, superior mesenteric artery (SMA) veins as well recorded. Findings correlated measurements (lung-to-head ratio calculated...
