Résumé
Fetal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) plays an increasingly important role in the prenatal diagnosis of gastrointestinal abnormalities. During gestation, the bowel develops T1-weighted hyperintensity due to meconium formation. Currently used T1-weighted sequences are performed in maternal breath-hold (BH) technique, which may take up to 20 s. The free-breathing (FB) T1-weighted 3D radial VIBE (volumetric interpolated breath-hold examination) sequence requires no breath-hold, improving patient comfort. This study aimed to address how well the FB acquisition technique can visualize large bowel structures compared to the routinely performed breath-hold sequence.
