Synopsis

Brain MRI of 296 fetuses (22-40 weeks’ gestational-age, normal n=244, hypo/hyper-telorism n=52 were included. Binocular, interocular, and ocular diameters, and ocular volume were measured using automatic methods. Two new parameters, binocular-ratio and interocular-ratio, were defined. In normal fetuses, all four measurements increased with gestational-age. However, constant values were detected across all gestational-ages of binocular-ratio=1.56±0.05 and interocular-ratio=0.60±0.05. A random-forest classifier achieved the best results (out of eight classifiers) with AUC-ROC=0.90±0.03 for classification between normal and fetuses with hypo/hyper-telorism. mainly based on the two new ratios. Machine-learning multi-parametric classification and the new ratios are suggested to be used in routine clinical practice.
