MRI is increasingly being used for the fetal central
nervous system studies in vivo. Fast MR acquisition
schemes in combination with advanced image processing
reconstruction methods allow the quantitative studies of
cerebellar volume of the fetus in-utero based on high
resolution MRI. In this study we estimated the
cerebellar volume of 9 healthy subjects coming from
different sites. Their volumes match the previously
reported results. We also study one case with unilateral
cerebellar hypoplasia, showing that the pathological
hemisphere is an outlier of the healthy hemispheric
volumes regression over the gestational age.
