Fetal MRI Acquisition and Sequence Development
Sponsor: Massachusetts General Hospital
Summary
Testing of new magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) pulse sequences (image acquisition software) for imaging the fetus to improve workflow and image quality in fetal imaging and diagnosis. The investigators would like to develop novel MRI approaches to enhance fetal imaging with MRI, in the presence of motion. As part of technical development, the investigators plan to develop methods to improve structural T1 and T2 weighted images, MR angiography, diffusion and spectroscopy measurements of the fetus.
