Three-dimensional magnetic resonance imaging of fetal brains.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We assessed ten prenatal magnetic resonance imaging(MRI) scans for fetal brain anomalies, and identified eight that were suitable for post-processing. Anatomical abnormalities were assessed on three-dimensional (3D) models and compared with two-dimensional (2D) imaging. We calculated the volumes of the intracranial ventricles and of a periventricular haemorrhage. In three cases, additional clinical information was obtained. 3D modelling of the brain in-utero is possible and can be used to plan treatment.

Fabrication of New 3D Phantom for Measuring Geometric Distortion in Magnetic Resonance Imaging System
Introduction: Geometric distortion is a major shortcoming of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which has an important influence on the accuracy of volumetric measurements, an important parameter in neurology and oncology. Our goal is to design and construct a new three- dimensional phantom using a 3D printer in order to measure geometric distortion and its reproducibility in...
متن کاملPrevalence and Length of Cavum Septi Pellucidi in Normal Adult Human Brains Using Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Purpose: In view of the fact that the reported prevalence of cavum septi pellucidi (CSP) in normal adult human brains varies enormously from 0.1% to 87.5% and that this prevalence has not been yet studied in Iran, this study was designed to determine the prevalence and length of CSP in normal adult human brains using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Materials and Methods: 29 healthy volunteer...

Background and purpose: Insomnia is a common sleep disorder with negative consequences such as decreased quality of life. In this study, the effect of sleep deprivation on memory in both young and older adults was investigated using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Materials and methods: In this retrospective study, fMRI data of 40 healthy subjects (17 young and 23 older people) w...
