Imaging of conjoined twins requires the use of multiple modalities, in both the prenatal and postnatal setting. Prenatal imaging, including both ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging, benefits from an organized, worksheet-based approach, careful labelling of all images, and adoption of supplemental techniques. Postnatal imaging should be informed by the prenatal imaging findings and should be thoughtfully planned prior to performance. Complete evaluation prior to planned surgical separation will require the use of complementary modalities and multidisciplinary review and discussion.
联体胎儿的影像学检查需要多种成像模式,包括产前和产后。产前影像学检查包括超声和磁共振成像,其需要采用有组织的工作表方法,仔细标记所有图像,并采用补充技术。产后影像学检查应参考产前影像学检查结果,并在进行检查前进行深思熟虑的计划。在计划进行手术分离之前,需要使用互补的成像模式并进行多学科的评估和讨论,以进行全面评估。
