Synopsis

Fetal ventriculomegaly (FV) is one of the central nervous system (CNS) major malformations. Prenatal clinical research has seen only a few applications of machine learning. To our knowledge, radiomic machine learning for predicting the change of cerebral ventricular in fetuses with ventriculomegaly has not been reported. We discovered that a combination of clinical characteristics and fetal MRI features could accurately predict postnatal ventricular changes in fetuses with ventriculomegaly. The occipital lobe white matter on the dilated lateral ventricle side may play an important role in the pathophysiological process in FV.
