Survey about the current use of fetal MRI in Spain

P. Caro-Dominguez et al.

Summary: In June 2019, the Spanish fetal MRI group was founded during a course in Seville, Spain. A questionnaire was distributed to radiologists dedicated to prenatal imaging, revealing that prenatal ultrasound and CT are less common in Spain compared to MRI, which is predominantly performed in the second or third trimester with a focus on fetal brain imaging. The number of fetal MRI studies varies across different regions of Spain, with higher numbers in Barcelona and Madrid.

Predicting neurodevelopmental outcomes in fetuses with isolated mild ventriculomegaly

Paul David Griffiths et al.

Summary: This study found that fetuses with unilateral mild ventriculomegaly tend to have normal neurodevelopmental outcomes, while those with bilateral ventriculomegaly may face risks. There was no clear correlation between fetal sex, ventricular or brain volumes, and the risk of abnormal neurodevelopmental outcomes.

Fetal magnetic resonance imaging at 3 Tesla - the European experience

Gabrielle C. Colleran et al.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the impact of performing fetal MRI at 3 tesla (T) on image quality, diagnostic yield, and technical challenges and artifacts. The results showed that using 3T magnets for fetal MRI improved spatial resolution and signal-to-noise ratio, but practitioners also identified shading, banding artifacts, and susceptibility to motion artifacts as common problems. Practitioners reported a benefit of using 3T MRI for all neurological indications, particularly for evaluating the posterior fossa and parenchymal lesions.

Visual assessment of the placenta in antenatal magnetic resonance imaging across gestation in normal and compromised pregnancies: Observations from a large cohort study

Alison Ho et al.

Summary: This article describes a structured approach to visually assess the placenta using T2-weighted imaging, including key anatomical landmarks, placental shape, signal intensity, and other important indicators. It also demonstrates the variations of these indicators in different pregnancy conditions. Additionally, the article shows the utility of other magnetic resonance techniques and histological assessment in visual assessment.

Optimization of the image contrast for the developing fetal brain using 3D radial VIBE sequence in 3 T magnetic resonance imaging

Yi Liao et al.

Summary: This study optimized the radial VIBE sequence to obtain qualitative evaluation of T1-weighted images of the fetal brain. The radial VIBE sequence with a 9° flip angle provides high-quality images for evaluating the structure and development of the fetal brain. However, different scanners may require re-optimization of the parameters.

The value of prenatal magnetic resonance imaging and postnatal follow-up using Gesell Developmental Schedules score for mild-to-moderate simple bilateral fetal ventriculomegaly

Zhi Li et al.

Summary: The study found that at 6, 12, and 18 months after birth, the GDS scores were higher for bilateral ventriculomegaly compared to unilateral ventriculomegaly. At 3 and 6 months postnatal, the GDS scores were also higher for bilateral ventriculomegaly compared to the control group. Additionally, at 6, 12, and 18 months postnatal, the GDS scores were higher for bilateral moderate ventriculomegaly compared to unilateral moderate ventriculomegaly.

Percentiles of intrauterine placental volume and placental volume relative to fetal volume: A prospective magnetic resonance imaging study

H. F. Peterson et al.

Summary: We aimed to provide percentiles of intrauterine placental growth and placental growth relative to fetal growth by measuring placental and fetal volumes by MRI. At gestational week 27, the placental volume was about half the size of the fetal volume, whereas at week 37, the placental volume was about one third of the fetal volume. The placental to fetal ratio was significantly higher at gestational week 27 than at week 37.

Reference ranges for fetal brain structures using magnetic resonance imaging: systematic review

D. Di Mascio et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the methodology of 15 studies reporting reference ranges for fetal brain structures on MRI, finding that most of them had low-to-moderate quality and high risk of bias. Issues were identified in study design, statistical and reporting methods, and specific aspects relevant to MRI. The findings were similar to those reported for ultrasound studies.

Summary: Rapid development in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) has greatly improved prenatal diagnosis. A novel DL architecture called FOAC-Net was proposed to automatically identify anomalies in fetal organs. FOAC-Net achieved high accuracy in predicting brain, spinal cord, and heart anomalies, outperforming other classification architectures.

The effect of maternal position on venous return for pregnant women during MRI

Emer J. Hughes et al.

Summary: MRI imaging in pregnancy often uses the left lateral tilt position, but the supine position can negatively impact image quality and fetal health. The spinal venous plexus may serve as an alternative pathway for venous return when the inferior vena cava is compressed. While the supine position decreased IVC flow and increased spinal venous plexus flow, total venous return showed no significant difference between the supine and left lateral tilt positions.

Summary: This retrospective study analyzed cases referred to the Prenatal Pediatrics Institute at Children's National Hospital from January 2012 to June 2018 due to concern for posterior fossa anomaly. Results showed that fetal MRI and neurology consultation led to a change in fetal prognosis in 70% of cases. Fetal and postnatal prognoses were similar in 60% of cases.

MRI based morphological examination of the placenta

Chloe Arthuis et al.

Summary: Ultrasound is commonly used for initial diagnosis in pregnancy due to its high spatial and temporal resolution. Recently, there has been an increased use of MRI for placental imaging, providing advantages in evaluating both function and anatomy. Despite less focus on the placenta during fetal examinations, its importance should not be underestimated.

Utilization of 3-T fetal magnetic resonance imaging in clinical practice: a single-institution experience

Usha D. Nagaraj et al.

Summary: The study compared the image quality of fetal MRI between 1.5 T and 3 T, finding that for brain evaluation, two out of four radiologists preferred 3 T. However, for chest and abdomen evaluation, three out of four radiologists had no clear preference between 1.5 T and 3 T. Overall, less than half of the radiologists favored 3 T, with longer examination times and more artifacts observed at 3 T without a clear improvement in image quality, making 1.5 T preferable for routine clinical practice.

Summary: The study developed a fully automatic method for computing CBD, BBD and TCD measurements from fetal brain MRI. Results showed a mean L-1 difference and Bland-Altman 95% confidence interval similar to manual inter-observer variability, indicating human-level performance. The method has potential for assessing fetal brain biometry in both normal and pathological cases, and improving routine clinical practice.

Summary: Comparing 2D fetal brain biometry on MR images using different approaches, the study found that 3D super-resolution (SR) reconstructed volumes can increase confidence in measurements. There were no significant differences in consistency between measurements made by an experienced radiologist and a junior radiologist, indicating the potential for SR to improve measurement confidence and consistency.
