The Comparative Study of Multiple Sequences in Fetal Spine MR Imaging

Motivation: China is a populous nation and also a country with a high incidence of birth defects.The spine is a crucial anatomical structure in fetal growth and development, and its abnormalities are closely related to the occurrence of various perinatal diseases.MRI has certain advantages in diagnosing fetal spinal . Goal(s): This study aims to displaying fetal spinal anatomy using multi-sequence imaging. Approach: Evaluate different MRI sequences in displaying fetal spinal anatomy and developmental abnormalities across different gestational ages. Results: We want to know which sequences has more advantageous for the depiction of the anatomical structure of the fetal spine and detecting developmental abnormalities . Impact: Accurate early diagnosis of fetal spinal abnormalities is beneficial for formulating prenatal, perinatal, and postnatal treatment plans. Currently, the screening for fetal spinal and spinal cord abnormalities remains a challenge in clinical prenatal diagnosis.
