Prenatal Diagnosis of Renal Failure by Fetal Biparametric Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Prenatal Diagnosis of Renal Failure by Fetal Biparametric Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Congenital anomalies of the kidneys and urinary tract represent 93% of all prenatally diagnosed malformations. In the reported case, fetal Biparametric MRI (Bp-MRI) by morphologic (T1- and T2-weighted) and functional diffusion-weighted (DW) images allowed both diagnosis of congenital anomalies (e.g....

Zusammenfassung:Congenital anomalies of the kidneys and urinary tract represent 93% of all prenatally diagnosed malformations. In the reported case, fetal Biparametric MRI (Bp-MRI) by morphologic (T1- and T2-weighted) and functional diffusion-weighted (DW) images allowed both diagnosis of congenital anomalies (e.g., hydrometrocolpos with septate vagina and uterus didelphys), and associated malfunction of kidneys by means of measurement of cortical and medullary apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values.
