Brief Summary:
The goal of Advanced Fetal Imaging - Phase II is to advance fetal MRI imaging by designing MRI coils specifically for pregnant women and testing recently developed MRI image acquisition techniques The investigators aim to more reliably obtain higher quality fetal MRI images when compared to current clinical fetal MRI
Detailed Description:
The main aim of this project is to evaluate and optimize the existing clinical magnetic resonance MR techniques for fetal imaging and to also implement and test new MR technologies that would improve fetal imaging in general This involves the development of new pulse sequences and image acquisition schemes that freeze fetal motion and hence provide improved image quality and robustness for both structural T1- and T2- weighted susceptibility and FLAIR imaging and physiological imaging diffusion perfusion spectroscopy resting-state functional MRI etc The scope of this project also includes testing of newly developed radio frequency RF receive-only coil arrays that would inherently provide the means for faster imaging of the fetus and thus complement the software developments
