Head to head: Comparing intracranial volumes using 3D ultrasound and fetal MRI
Fetal US and MRI yield comparable ICV measurements around 30 weeks of gestation, validating automatic 3D US volumetric methods. The use of 3D US may support development of normative curves and improve comparisons with at-risk fetuses, including in regions where fetal MRI is less accessible.
