简要总结
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the use of functional MRI in pregnant women as a non-invasive diagnostic tool to detect placental insufficiency and differentiate healthy fetuses from the intra-uterine growth restricted ones. Functional MRI in pregnant women can detect a variation of the MRI signal (called BOLD effect) from the placenta and the fetus when the mother is breathing pure oxygen. This study aims hence to demonstrate the difference in the BOLD effect between normal feto-placental units and growth restricted ones.
详细描述
Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) is associated with important maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality. IUGR is typically secondary to defective oxygenation, leading to placental insufficiency.
Measurements made in the umbilical cord after puncture fetal blood showed that compared to normal fetuses, fetuses with IUGR are often hypoxic, hypercapnic and acidotic. Pathological placental and fetal oxygenation is considered as a main element of IUGR. To this day, there is no non-invasive exploration method of this oxygenation. The only ways to monitor IUGR are "indirect" ultrasonic analysis of fetal growth and uteroplacental Doppler spectra. Functional BOLD (Blood Oxygen Level dependent) MRI, already used to investigate cerebral, tumor, cardiac oxygenation, highlights local variations of oxygenation. The purpose of this study is to obtain non invasive data of fetoplacental oxygenation through functional BOLD MRI. Comparing data on eutrophic fetuses and IUGR fetuses will determine the potential contribution of this technique in the diagnosis, treatment and medical management of dysfunctional placentas associated with an increased risk of IUGR.
a fetal MRI in the pediatric radiology department of Necker-Enfants Malades Hospital or Robert Debré Hospital, for fetal or placental indications as part of usual workup, will be invited to participate in this protocol. At the waning of the scheduled fetal MRI, patients will subsequently receive an additional BOLD and ASL sequence before and after maternal hyperoxygenation.
Patients will be included in three centers : Necker Hospital, Robert Debré Hospital and Louis Mourier Hospital. Only at Necker Hospital: a subgroup of patients will be included at the beginning of the protocol for the adjustment of the settings of the MRI machine, for the determination of BOLD sequences' parameters, as well as the selection of the most adapted type of oxygenation mask.
In the three centers, investigators will include patients with IUGR fetuses and patients with a eutrophic fetus.
