PDFAbstract
Objective To investigate the diagnostic value of diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) in fetal hydrocephalus in middle and late pregnancy. Methods Objective To analyze the imaging data and clinical data of 15 cases of hydrocephalus and 28 cases of normal fetus, and to measure the frontal lobe, temporal lobe, parietal lobe, occipital lobe, thalamus, basal Section of the brain, the brain stem of the ADC value, the hydrocephalus and normal fetal measurement results were analyzed. Results The hydrocephalus group and the normal control group fetus in gestational age (P=0.965) and pregnant women age (P=0.981) no significant difference. Compared with the control group, the hydrocephalus fetus frontal lobe (P=0.034), parietal lobe (P=0.021) ADC value increased statistically significant (P<0.05). ADC values of temporal lobe (P=0.300), occipital lobe (P=0.667), basal ganglia (P=1.005), thalamus (P=0.444) and brainstem (P=0.609) were not statistically different. Conclusion DWI sequence improve the diagnostic rate of fetal hydrocephalus, prenatal diagnosis has important value and guiding significance.
