The aim of this article is to present reference data for fetal mandibular growth on magnetic resonance imaging, enabling the diagnosis micrognathia.
Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and tractography offer the unique possibility to visualize developing white matter macroanatomy of human fetal brain in vivo utero are currently under investigation for their potential use diagnosis developmental pathologies central nervous system. However, order establish DTI as a clinical tool, an independent comparison between macroscopic microscopic histology data same subject is needed. The present study aimed cross-validate normal well abnormal results...
Corpus callosal agenesis (CCA) is one of the most common brain malformations and generally associated with a good outcome when isolated. However, up to 25% patients are at risk neurodevelopmental delay, which currently available clinical imaging parameters inadequate predict. The objectives this study were apply validate fetal magnetic resonance (MRI) anatomical scoring system in cohort fetuses isolated CCA evaluate correlation postnatal outcome.This was retrospective cases prenatally...
Background The cortical plate (future cortex) is readily identifiable in utero at MRI. However, MRI evaluation of the remaining brain layers limited by poor T2 contrast between subplate and underlying intermediate zone (IZ). Purpose To compare delineation fetal lamination T2-weighted single-shot fast spin-echo (SSFSE) echo-planar imaging (EPI) fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) images, to quantify differences depiction layering two sequences. Materials Methods Consecutive...
ABSTRACT Objective The purpose of this study was to determine the risk poor perinatal outcome in normal karyotype second‐trimester fetuses with sonographic finding isolated echogenic bowel. Method Medical records, ultrasonographic findings and details were reviewed for 97 cases fetal bowel, after excluding aneuploidy major congenital anomalies, compared a cohort 400 without pathologic intra‐abdominal findings. Results incidence bowel during 14‐year period 0.8%. Eighty (82.5%) pregnancies...
Abstract Objective In view of the increasing role magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as an adjunct to prenatal ultrasonography (US), this study sought demonstrate visualization fetal akinesia and associated abnormalities on MRI. Methods This retrospective included six fetuses with abnormalities, depicted MRI after suspicious US. The whole fetus was assessed for musculoskeletal pathological conditions elsewhere. Fetal outcome data were compared imaging. US findings also compared. Results...
Abstract Objectives: Inferior vena cava compression syndrome (VCCS) is a serious complication of supine fetal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examinations, particularly during late gestation. This morphologic study correlated the occurrence VCCS with grade inferior (IVC) compression. Materials and methods: There were 56 MRI in position [median gestational weeks (GW) 27+4] 16 lateral (median GW 30+6) retrospectively analyzed. The maternal IVC was determined by maximal anterior-posterior...
Objective To determine the association between isolated mid-trimester short fetal femur length and adverse perinatal outcome. Methods This is a retrospective cohort study of patients with singleton gestations routinely assessed by second trimester ultrasound examination during 2006-2013. A was defined as (FL) below 5th percentile in fetus an abdominal circumference greater than 10th percentile. Cases aneuploidy, skeletal dysplasia major anomalies were excluded. Primary outcomes interest...
Objectives In cases of "spina bifida," a detailed prenatal imaging assessment the exact morphology neural tube defects (NTD) is often limited. Due to diverse clinical prognosis and treatment options, parameters that support differentiation between open closed (ONTDs CNTDs) are required. This fetal MR study aims evaluate clivus-supraocciput angle (CSA) maximum transverse diameter posterior fossa (TDPF) as morphometric aid in reliable diagnosis either ONTDs or CNTDs. Methods The TDPF CSA 238...
Abstract Objectives: To evaluate the fetal magnetic resonance imaging findings of lymphangiomas. Methods: The scans eight fetuses with lymphangiomas were evaluated. Magnetic evaluation included: number; size; signal intensities lesions; thickness septae; configuration margins; presence blood breakdown products; change in size or intensity (in four patients multiple examinations); exact expansion lesions to adjacent anatomical structures; and concomitant pathological findings. Results...
To investigate human long bone development in vivo by analyzing distal femoral epimetaphyseal structures and morphometrics on magnetic resonance (MR) images of fetuses.An institutional review board approved this retrospective study, informed consent was waived. Included were 272 MR imaging examinations (April 2004-July 2011) 253 fetuses with a mean gestational age (GA) 26 weeks 6 days (range, 19 2 to 35 days) without known musculoskeletal abnormalities. Two independent readers qualitatively...
Abstract Objective To present fetal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) ocular measurement ranges by gestational age (GA) in normal and growth‐restricted fetuses. Methods A total of 298 pregnant women from the 18th to 39th week gestation were imaged using MRI. Ocular measurements including binocular distance (BOD), interocular (IOD), transverse diameter (OD) anterior–posterior (AP) OD measured. The curve estimation analyses for linear, logarithmic quadratic models performed. fetuses with...
Abstract Objective Clubfoot, or talipes equinovarus (TEV), is commonly diagnosed on prenatal ultrasound. This study sought to visualize TEV and associated abnormalities fetal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) compared with Methods retrospective included the MRI scans of 44 fetuses using postnatal assessment autopsy as standard reference. Isolated was differentiated from complex abnormalities. findings previous ultrasound diagnoses were compared. Results found in 19/44 (43.2%) 25/44 (56.8%)....
In this retrospective study, we describe the clinical course, ultrasound findings and genetic investigations of fetuses affected by fetal akinesia.We enrolled 22 eukaryotic 18 families, diagnosed with akinesia between 2008 2016 at Department Obstetrics Feto-Maternal Medicine Medical University Vienna. Routine evaluation included karyotyping chromosomal microarray analysis. Retrospectively, exome sequencing was performed in index case 11 if stored DNA available. Confirmation analyses...
In view of the increasing use fetal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as an adjunct to prenatal ultrasonography, we sought demonstrate visualization upper extremity abnormalities and associated defects on MRI, with regard outcomes compared ultrasound imaging.This retrospective study included 29 fetuses visualized MRI following suspicious findings confirmed by postnatal assessment or autopsy. On a 1.5-Tesla unit, dedicated sequences were applied image extremities. Central nervous system (CNS)...
To demonstrate the visualization of penile abnormalities on fetal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).This retrospective study included five fetuses (25+0 to 31+6 gestational weeks) with abnormalities, positively depicted MRI, using prenatal ultrasonography (US) as a standard reference. On penis, well scrotum and testicles, were evaluated. All organs reviewed define isolated or in association other anomalies. Furthermore, US MRI findings compared.Posterior hypospadias demonstrated all fetuses,...
