To evaluate the concordance between two-dimensional ultrasonography (2DUS), three-dimensional ultrasonography (3DUS) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the assessment of lung volume in fetuses with urinary tract malformations (UTM).
This was a cross-sectional study involving 12 pregnancies between 19 and 34 weeks, with various fetal UTM. Pulmonary volume was obtained by 2DUS using the following equation: total lung volume = [right lung antero-posterior diameter (X) x transverse diameter (Y) x cranial-caudal diameter x 0.152 + left lung (X1) x (Y1) x (Z1) x 0.167]. Pulmonary volume by 3DUS was obtained using the virtual organ computer-aided analysis (VOCAL) method with a 30 degrees (VOL30), 18 degrees (VOL18) and 12 degrees (VOL12) rotation. A fast sequence of transverse lung section was also obtained by MRI. The intraclass correlation coefficient was used to evaluate the correlation between the three methods. The paired student t-test was used to compare the means.
There was a strong correlation between the three methods, and the highest correlations were between MRI and VOL18 for the right (ICC = 0.913) and left (ICC = 0.947) lungs. A strong correlation was also found between the lung volumes obtained through MRI and VOL12 as well as VOL18 (p = 0.544 and 0.286, respectively). However, for the left lung there was only a correlation between MRI and VOL12 (p = 0.49).
There is a good concordance between 3DUS (VOL12) and MRI in the evaluation of lung volume in fetuses with UTM.
评估二维超声检查(2DUS)、三维超声检查(3DUS)和磁共振成像(MRI)在评估泌尿系统畸形(UTM)胎儿肺容积方面的一致性。
这是一项横断面研究,纳入了12例妊娠19至34周、患有各种胎儿UTM的孕妇。通过2DUS使用以下公式获得肺容积:总肺容积 = [右肺前后径(X)×横径(Y)×头尾径×0.152 + 左肺(X1)×(Y1)×(Z1)×0.167]。通过虚拟器官计算机辅助分析(VOCAL)方法,以30度(VOL30)、18度(VOL18)和12度(VOL12)旋转获得3DUS的肺容积。MRI也获得了快速的横向肺切片序列。组内相关系数用于评估三种方法之间的相关性。配对学生t检验用于比较均值。
三种方法之间存在强相关性,右肺和左肺的MRI与VOL18之间的相关性最高(右肺ICC = 0.913,左肺ICC = 0.947)。通过MRI获得的肺容积与VOL12以及VOL18之间也发现了强相关性(分别为p = 0.544和0.286)。然而,对于左肺,仅在MRI与VOL12之间存在相关性(p = 0.49)。
在评估UTM胎儿的肺容积方面,3DUS(VOL12)与MRI之间具有良好的一致性。
