DIFFUSION WEIGHTED MRI FINDINGS IN FETUSES WITH AND WITHOUT FETAL GROWTH RESTRICTION
COMPARISON OF DIFFUSION WEIGHTED MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING FINDINGS IN FETUSES WITH AND WITHOUT FETAL GROWTH RESTRICTION: THE IMPACT OF MIDDLE CEREBRAL ARTERY DOPPLER FINDINGS
This prospective observational study aims to compare fetal brain diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DWI) findings in fetuses with and without fetal growth restriction (FGR) and to evaluate the association between middle cerebral artery (MCA) Doppler findings and regional apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values.
Participants will be classified into three groups: fetuses with FGR and normal MCA Doppler findings, fetuses with FGR and MCA Doppler redistribution, and appropriately grown for gestational age (AGA) healthy control fetuses with normal Doppler findings. Fetal DWI will be performed using a 1.5-Tesla MRI scanner, and ADC values will be measured in predefined brain regions, including the frontal, occipital, and temporal white matter, thalamus, pons, cerebellar hemispheres, and centrum semiovale.
The primary objective is to compare regional ADC values between fetuses with FGR and healthy controls. The secondary objective is to determine whether ADC values differ between FGR fetuses with normal MCA Doppler findings and those with MCA Doppler redistribution. The study also aims to evaluate the relationship between ADC values, gestational age, fetal biometric measurements, and Doppler parameters.

AGA - Normal MCA
Appropriate for gestational age fetuses with normal MCA Doppler
|
Fetal diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DWI) will be performed using a 1.5-Tesla MRI scanner.
Diffusion-weighted images will be acquired with b-values of 0 and 1000 s/mm², and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) maps will be generated.
Region-of-interest (ROI)-based ADC measurements will be obtained from predefined fetal brain regions.

Regional Fetal Brain Apparent Diffusion Coefficient (ADC) Values
大体时间:At the time of fetal MRI examination (28-38 weeks of gestation)
|
Apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values will be measured using region-of-interest (ROI) analysis on fetal diffusion-weighted MRI in the frontal, occipital, and temporal white matter, thalamus, pons, cerebellar hemispheres, and centrum semiovale.
Mean ADC values will be compared among fetuses with FGR and normal MCA Doppler, fetuses with FGR and MCA Doppler redistribution, and AGA healthy controls.
ADC values will be expressed in mm²/s.
