Abstract:
Purpose Full-term fetal weight is closely related to the choice of delivery mode and perinatal mortality rate.Our aim is to explore the feasibility of magnetic resource image (MRI) with three-dimensional reconstruction and volume measurement in estimating fetal weight and its accuracy compared to ultrasound (US) examination.Materials and Methods Analyzed the MRI volume measurement of 61 fetuses delivered within 7 days after M RI and ultrasound examination in our hospital between November 2013 and March 2016 using MRI three-dimensional reconstruction.The fetal weight estimated by MRI was calculated by the equation developed by Baker et al and the US estimation of fetal weight was performed according to Haldlock et al,the MRI and US estimation of fetal weight were compared.Results 60 fetuses were included and qualified MRI three-dimensional reconstruction models,one was excluded because of frequent movement.The MRI estimation of fetal weight and the birth weight correlated significantly (r=0.927,P＜0.05).The MRI estimation of fetal weight had a lower percentage of random error than US (3.4％ vs 5.0％,P＞0.05),as well as mean absolute error [(172+ 114) g vs (227± 171) g,P＜0.05],but a higher percentage of relative error ≤ 10％ than US (95.0％ vs 78.3％,P＜0.05),with an underestimation in 90.0％ fetuses compared with birth-weight.Concision Full-term fetal weight estimation by using MRI with three-dimensional reconstruction and volume measurement is feasible and more accurate than ultrasound,but lower than the actual weight.This method can be applied in estimating fetal weight in the case of ultrasound examination limited.
