Ultrasonography

6.5K
Ultrasonography is an imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to visualize the body's internal structures. It is a non-invasive and safe procedure that does not involve the use of ionizing radiation, making it widely used in various medical fields. Ultrasonography is used to study heart function, blood flow in the neck or extremities, certain conditions such as gallbladder disease, and fetal growth and development.
During an ultrasonography procedure, a handheld device called...

Area of Science:

  • Medical imaging
  • Prenatal diagnostics
  • Fetal medicine

Background:

  • Ultrasound (US) has been integral to prenatal care for decades, with recent technical progress improving image quality and anomaly detection.
  • Three-dimensional (3D) US has expanded over 15 years, offering enhanced visualization and more realistic fetal images.
  • Fetal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), established over 30 years ago, has seen significant technical improvements in the last 15-20 years.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To discuss recent developments in fetal MRI and 3D US.
  • To review common and emerging indications for these advanced prenatal imaging techniques.

Main Methods:

  • Review of technical advancements in fetal MRI and 3D US.
  • Analysis of current and novel clinical applications for fetal imaging.

Main Results:

  • Fetal MRI complements US, especially in cases of oligohydramnios or maternal obesity, offering a larger field of view and better tissue contrast.
  • MRI provides superior visualization without shadowing from bone but has lower resolution and availability than US.
  • Established indications for fetal MRI include neurological anomalies, while body imaging indications are less defined.

Conclusions:

  • Both fetal MRI and 3D US have evolved significantly, improving prenatal diagnostic capabilities.
  • Understanding the complementary roles and indications of fetal MRI and 3D US is crucial for optimal prenatal care.
  • Further research is needed to define broader indications for fetal body MRI.
