Zusammenfassung

Klinisches/methodisches Problem

Diagnose und Differenzialdiagnose fetaler thorakaler und abdomineller Malformationen.

Radiologische Standardverfahren

Ultraschall, MRT.

Methodische Innovationen

MRT zur weiteren Abklärung und genaueren Differenzierung bei vielen im Ultraschall gestellten Verdachtsdiagnosen.

Leistungsfähigkeit

Verbesserte anatomische Darstellung mittels MRT und Darstellung unterschiedlicher Gewebezusammensetzung mittels verschiedener MR-Sequenzen.

Bewertung

Die fetale MRT ist bei der angegebenen Fragestellung in die klinische Routine eingegangen und liefert weiterhin die Basis für wissenschaftliche Untersuchungen in diesem Bereich.

Empfehlung für die Praxis

Die fetale MRT liefert beim Vorliegen thorakaler oder abdomineller Malformationen komplementär zum Ultraschall wichtige Zusatzinformationen, um die diagnostische Genauigkeit zu erhöhen, die Prognoseabschätzung zu verbessern und ggf. eine bessere chirurgische Planung zu ermöglichen.

Abstract

Clinical/methodical issue

Diagnosis and differential diagnosis of fetal thoracic and abdominal malformations.

Standard radiological methods

Ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Methodical innovations

In cases of suspected pathologies based on fetal ultrasound MRI can be used for more detailed examinations and can be of assistance in the differential diagnostic process.

Performance

Improved imaging of anatomical structures and of the composition of different tissues by the use of different MRI sequences.

Achievements

Fetal MRI has become a part of clinical routine in thoracic and abdominal malformations and is the basis for scientific research in this field.

Practical recommendations

In cases of thoracic or abdominal malformations fetal MRI provides important information additional to ultrasound to improve diagnostic accuracy, prognostic evaluation and surgical planning.
