Abstract Objective:Evaluate deformable slice-to-volume registration (DSVR) to calculate 3D-segmented total lung volume (TLV) in fetuses with congenital diaphragmatic hernia, congenital lung lesions and healthy controls, with comparison to 2D-manual segmentation. Design:Pilot study Setting:Regional fetal medicine referral centre Sample:Fetal MRIs performed for clinical indications (abnormal cases) or as research participants (healthy controls) Methods:Sixteen MRI datasets of fetuses (22-32 weeks GA). Diagnosis: CDH(n=5), CPAM(n=2), CDH with BPS(n=1) and healthy control(n=8). DSVR was used for reconstruction of 3D isotropic (0.85 mm) volumes of fetal body followed by semi-automated lung segmentation. The resulting 3D TLV were compared to the traditional 2D-based volumetry, and a normogram of DSVR-derived fetal lung volumes from 100 cases was produced. Main Outcome Measures:Concordance with 2D-volumetry assessed with Bland-Altman analysis, results of segmentations presented visually. Observed/Expected values were calculated for abnormal cases based upon the normogram. Results:DSVR-derived TLV values have high correlation with the 2D-based measurements but with a consistently lower volume; bias -1.44cm3 [95% limits: -2.6 to -0.3] with improved resolution able to exclude hilar structures even in severe motion corruption or in cases of lung hypoplasia. Conclusions:Application of DSVR for fetal MRI provides a solution for analysis of motion corrupted scans and does not suffer from the interpolation error inherent in 2D-segmentation as per current clinical practice. It increases information content of acquired data in terms of visualising organs in 3D space and quantification of volumes, which we believe will have important value for counselling and surgical planning. Keywords:Fetal MRI; congenital diaphragmatic hernia; CPAM; lung volume

Objective: To assess the role of the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to predict the postnatal survival in patients with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH). Method: 25 patients with CDH who had fetal MRI between 2015 and 2020 were enrolled in this retrospective study. Patients were divided into two groups according to the postnatal survival at 30 days of age: alive and dead. The fetal MRI images were assessed to calculate the lung-to-liver signal intensity ratio (LLSIR), and the total lung volume (TLV). In addition, the site of the defect (right or left), accompanying liver herniation (present or absent), detectable-ipsilateral lung parenchyma at the apex (present or absent) were also recorded. MRI images were evaluated by two pediatric radiologists. A p value lesser than 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: Among 25 fetuses, 6 were alive and 19 were dead within 30 days after birth. The detectable lung parenchyma had a relationship with the alive group (p = 0.023). Observed-to-expected TLV (p = 0.001) and LLSIR (p = 0.023) were significantly lower in the dead group. Using the cutoff values for the observed-to-expected TLV as 0.27 (a sensitivity of 84%, a specificity of 84%) and for the LLSIR as 2.02 (a sensitivity of 89%, a specificity of 67%) were found as predictors for death. Conclusion: The postnatal survival in CDH may be predicted using the observed-to-expected TLV and LLSIR on the fetal MRI. The presence of the detectable-ipsilateral lung parenchyma at the apex may also be associated with the postnatal survival.
