Can 3T Fetal MRI improve resolution of brain structures?
Purpose or Case Report: Describe the anatomy and regional difference in brain maturation of various brain structures comparing 3 and 1.5 Tesla fetal MRI.
Methods & Materials: 1. Technique and optimization of 3T fetal MRI 2. Description of the sulcation and different layers of the brain maturation as well as other brain structures on 3T fetal MRI 3. Qualitative comparison of 3 and 1.5 Tesla fetal MRI with age matched fetuses 4. Conclusion Results: Higher field magnetic resonance has already been used to improve spatial resolution of normal structures in other areas of imaging. This educational exhibit will summarize the advantages and disadvantages of normal brain fetal anatomy performed on a 3 Tesla in comparison with age matched fetuses performed on a 1. 5 Tesla magnet. Conclusions: Fetal MRI has become an essential technique in the prenatal diagnosis of fetuses with a high risk of structural disorders. Knowledge of the normal fetal anatomy in MRI is advantageous to improve the prenatal assessment.
