Fetal magnetic resonance imaging at 3 Tesla - the European experience
Original language description
BACKGROUND: The Fetal Imaging Taskforce was established in 2018 by the European Society of Paediatric Radiology. The first survey on European practice of fetal imaging published in 2020 revealed that 30% of fetal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is performed at 3 tesla (T). The purpose of this second survey was to identify the impact of 3-T fetal MRI with an emphasis on image quality, diagnostic yield, and technical challenges and artifacts at higher field strengths. OBJECTIVE: To describe the prenatal imaging practice at 3-T MRI units in various centres in Europe and to prepare recommendations on behalf of the Fetal Imaging Taskforce. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A survey was sent to all members performing 3-T fetal MRI. Questions included practitioner experience, magnet brand, protocols, counselling, artifacts and benefits of imaging at higher field strengths. RESULTS: Twenty-seven centres replied and reported improved spatial resolution and improved signal-to-noise ratio when performing fetal MRI at 3 T. Shading and banding artifacts and susceptibility to motion artifacts were common problems identified by practitioners at the higher field strength. For all neurological indications, practitioners reported a benefit of imaging at 3 T, most marked for posterior fossa evaluation and parenchymal lesions. CONCLUSION: The use of 3-T magnets in fetal MRI has improved the availability and quality of advanced imaging sequences and allowed for better anatomical evaluation. There remain significant challenges to minimize the impact of artifacts on image quality. This paper includes guidelines for clinical practice and imaging at 3 T.
