MR imaging is used in conjunction with ultrasound screening for fetal brain abnormalities because it offers better contrast, higher resolution, and has multiplanar capabilities that increase the accuracy and confidence of diagnosis. Fetal motion still severely limits the MR imaging sequences that can be acquired. We outline the current acquisition strategies for fetal brain MR imaging and discuss the near term advances that will improve its reliability. Prospective and retrospective motion correction aim to make the complement of MR neuroimaging modalities available for fetal diagnosis, improve the performance of existing modalities, and open new horizons to understanding in utero brain development.
磁共振成像与超声筛查相结合,用于胎儿脑异常,因为它具有更好的对比度、更高的分辨率,以及具有增加诊断准确性和信心的多平面能力。胎儿运动仍然严重限制了可以获取的磁共振成像序列。我们概述了胎儿脑磁共振成像的当前采集策略,并讨论了将提高其可靠性的近期进展。前瞻性和回顾性运动校正旨在使磁共振神经影像学的组合方法可用于胎儿诊断,提高现有方法的性能,并为理解宫内脑发育开辟新的视野。
