The placenta is both the literal and metaphorical black box of pregnancy. Measurement of
the function of the placenta has the potential to enhance our understanding of this enigmatic …

Background: Spina bifida aperta (SBA) is a birth defect associated with severe anatomical
changes in the developing fetal brain. Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) atlases are …

The performance of deep neural networks typically increases with the number of training
images. However, not all images have the same importance towards improved performance …

Objective To identify brain edema in fetuses with Chiari II malformation using a
multiparametric approach including structural T2-weighted, diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) …

Congenital diaphragmatic hernia can be diagnosed in the prenatal period and its severity
can be measured by fetal imaging. There is now level I evidence that, in selected cases …

Objectives To determine simple prenatal imaging parameters that can easily be acquired to
predict the need for postnatal CSF diversion (PCD) surgery in fetuses undergoing open fetal …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) has emerged as a notable
concern in Chiari II malformation (CM II), yet its origins and clinical implications remain …

Detecting spina bifida defects in an early parental stage and providing proper remedial
measures is the main objective. There it demands effective learning approaches to …

Spina bifida affects spinal cord and cerebral development, leading to motor and cognitive
delay. We investigated whether there are associations between thalamocortical connectivity …

Background Volumetric measurements of fetal brain maturation in the third trimester of
pregnancy are key predictors of developmental outcomes. Improved understanding of fetal …
