PURPOSE We aimed to compare the placental diffusion difference between intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) patients with worsening Doppler ultrasonography (US) findings and control group with normal Doppler US findings by using diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI). METHODS We performed a prospective study to compare the placental diffusion difference in 63 patients (gestational week, 28-34 weeks), including 50 IUGR patients (mean gestational week, 30 weeks 3 days +/- 16.2 days) with worsening Doppler US findings and 13 patients with normal Doppler US findings (mean gestational week, 29 weeks 4 days +/- 12.3 days) by using DWI (b value, 0-1000 s/mm(2)). We classified IUGR patients into three groups according to the reference values of the umbilical artery pulsatility index (PI) chart. Placenta apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) calculations were performed by freehand drawn regions-of-interest (ROIs) (min, 8.04 cm(2); max, 200 cm(2)). RESULTS Placental ADC values in IUGR patients (mean, 1.624 +/- 0.181 x10-(3) mm (2) /s; range, 1.35-1.96 x10(-3) mm(2)/s) were significantly reduced compared with the control group (mean, 1.827 +/- 0.191 x10(-3) mm(2)/s; range, 1.35-2.84 x10(-3) mm(2)/s) (P = 0.001). For adjusted ROI area calculation, ADC values were significantly lower in groups 3, 2 and 1, respectively, compared with the control group (P < 0.05); and there was no significant difference between groups 1 and 2 (P > 0.05). Preeclampsia significantly reduced the placental diffusion compared with patients without preeclampsia (P = 0.003). Gestational aging did not significantly affect ADC values in control patients (r= 0.08, P = 0.561). The sensitivity, specificity, negative and positive predictive values of ADC to detect IUGR were 72%, 84.6%, 44%, and 94.7% with a cutoff value of 1.727 x10(-3) mm(2)/s, respectively. CONCLUSION The diagnostic estimation of placental ADC values to predict the severity of IUGR is comparable to that of umbilical artery PI. Considering that at the very early onset of IUGR, placental diffusion diminishes, ADC as a marker for IUGR in lieu of umbilical artery PI has the potential to determine the threshold for decreased placental diffusion. Therefore, DWI should be added to routine fetal MRI to show diffusion changes in placenta.
