Postnatal verification of prenatal diagnoses established on foetal magnetic resonance imaging

Abstract

High correlation of prenatal and postnatal tests' results in the study material confirms the high value of foetal MRI in perinatal diagnostics. Comprehensive assessment of the foetus in prenatal MRI is very effective and facilitates impor-tant therapeutic decisions in the prenatal period (in utero treatment) and in perinatal care (application or withdrawal from the EXIT procedure, surgery or backtracking from neonatal resuscitation if it should bear the hallmarks of persistent therapy).

Application of prenatal ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging on fetal agenesis of corpus callosum

“…In addition to the above factors, the ultrasound image itself is influenced by the amniotic fluid, maternal body size, fetal skull, pelvic bone of the pregnant women and the ultrasound equipment limitations, and the result credibility is further reduced. In this study, it is considered that in the ultrasonic diagnosis of ACC, MRI shall be used as a necessary means of detection; if ultrasound cannot obtain satisfactory corpus callosum direct signs, the indirect signs need to meet at least three diagnostic criteria, with follow-up review, and the persistent presence of pathological signs, further MRI examination is performed, so as to reduce the misdiagnosis rate [7].…”
