Application of Synthetic MRI Technology in Preoperative Brain Development of Pediatric Congenital Heart Disease

Motivation: Children with congenital heart disease (CHD) may exhibit brain development abnormalities, making it crucial to understand the risk and improve neurological function in these patients. Goal(s): In this study, we aimed to quantitative assessment of preoperative brain development in CHD children using Synthetic Magnetic Resonance Imaging (SyMRI). Approach: Through the quantitative evaluation and correlation analysis of T1, T2 and and PD values of SyMRI in the preoperative brain development of children with CHD. Results: The results indicate that the presence of neurological development abnormalities existed in children with CHD before surgery. SyMRI can provid a basis for early clinical evaluation and timely intervention. Impact: SyMRI quantitative assessment can serve as a reference indicator for brain development abnormalities in CHD children, aiding in guiding early clinical evaluation and timely intervention.
