- FIG 1.
T2-weighted images in the axial (A), coronal (B), and sagittal (C) planes illustrating automated segmentations of the extra-axial space (yellow), white matter (red), ventricular system (green), and cerebellum (blue).
- FIG 2.
Graphs demonstrating the paired observations of the total skull volume, total brain grading, extra-axial space volume, cerebellar volume, atrial width, and ventricular volume. The provided P value is the significance level of the Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney test comparing the observations at the second time point in fetuses with congenital diaphragmatic hernia with that in healthy controls. The mean values of the control populations (full red line) with the 95% confidence intervals (dashed red line) are also shown.
- FIG 3.
Three orthogonal T2-weighted spin-echo images in a healthy fetus (A–C) and a fetus with a left-sided diaphragmatic hernia (D–F), both at a GA of 30 weeks 4 days. In the axial plane (A and D), the enlarged pericerebral space is evident (arrowheads). The difference in gyrification is most evident in the parietal area and best seen in the coronal plane (circle in B and E) and to a lesser extent in the sagittal plane (arrows in C and F). The enlarged pericerebral space in the coronal and sagittal planes is marked with arrowheads.
