Measuring venous blood oxygenation in fetal brain using susceptibility‐weighted imaging
Abstract
PURPOSE: To evaluate fetal cerebral venous blood oxygenation, Yv, using principles of MR susceptometry.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: A cohort of 19 pregnant subjects, with a mean gestational age of 31.6 ± 4.7 weeks were imaged using a modified susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI) sequence. Data quality was first assessed for feasibility of oxygen saturation measurement, and data from five subjects (mean ± std gestational age of 33.7 ± 3.6 weeks) …
