Imaging putative foetal cerebral blood oxygenation using susceptibility weighted imaging (SWI)
Abstract
ObjectiveTo evaluate the magnetic susceptibility, ∆χv, as a surrogate marker of venous blood oxygen saturation, SvO2, in second- and third-trimester normal human foetuses.MethodsThirty-six pregnant women, having a mean gestational age (GA) of 31 2/7 weeks, underwent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI) data from the foetal brain were acquired. ∆χv of the superior sagittal sinus (SSS) was quantified using MR …
