FETAL NEUROIMAGING – ULTRASOUND Traditionally, assessment of the fetal brain is determined from axial views of the fetal head, where the cerebral ventricles can be seen in a view that allows measurement of the BPD (Fig. 3). This transventricular plane is obtained by a transverse scan at the level of the cavum septum pellucidum, allowing investigations of the lateral border of the anterior (or frontal) horns, the medial and lateral borders of the posterior horns, the choroid plexus and the sylvian fissure.
In the United Kingdom, the current advice from the Department of Health is that patients receiving MRI scans during their pregnancy should have details of the scan parameters recorded, and a copy kept for subsequent inclusion in the child’s note. FETAL ANATOMICAL DEVELOPMENT Whilst the fetal brain undergoes major changes throughout pregnancy, from 7 weeks of gestation a sonolucent area can be seen in the cephalic pole on ultrasound scan. At 9 weeks, demonstration of the convoluted pattern of three vesicles is feasible, and from 11 weeks, large brightly echogenic choroid plexuses, filling the large lateral ventricles can be seen (the ‘Butterfly sign’) (30).
