Identify the significant role of prenatal neurosonography (NS) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the detection of fetal brain anomalies.
Interpret the systemic review and meta-analysis findings fetal neurosonography and MRI provide in the diagnosis of CNS abnormalities before birth.
Discuss correlations between MRI and NS diagnostic screening for fetal intracranial anomalies suggesting MRI’s added clinical value.
Figure 6 presents what type of graphical plot used in meta-analysis to detect publication bias comparing fetal NS and fetal MRI? Forest Tunnel Funnel Scatter
In Figure 7 Image B, the MRI describes a 29-week-old fetus with intraventricular hemorrhage reported as which grade listed below? Grade 1 Grade 2 Grade 3 Grade 4
Of the articles chosen for this study presented in Table 1, what was the largest retrospective sample size? 860 556 773 810
Which full text study in Table 2 published an 88% diagnostic correlation? Malinger et al D’Antonio Tanacan et al Garcia-Flores et al
Figure 8 demonstrates NS and MRI imaging of a 32-week-old fetus with both modalities in diagnostic agreement for which intracranial anomaly listed below? Cerebellar atresia Porencephaly Intraventricular hemorrhage Semilobar holoprosencephaly
This study showed a _____added value for MRI in patient cases initially examined with NS. 6% 9% 23% 4%
