Synopsis

Keywords: Fetal, FetusReliable fetal brain anatomical imaging is critical to identify structural brain abnormalities early in utero. Fetal brain imaging with increased spatial resolution may provide more details but is limited by a large acquisition matrix size with a long readout time. Here, we demonstrate high-resolution fetal brain imaging using a reduced field-of-view with outer volume suppression. The performance of outer volume suppression pulse was evaluated in simulations and phantom/in vivo experiments. High-resolution imaging with reduced field-of-view demonstrated improved image quality than conventional imaging without visible blurring or aliasing artifacts.
