Introduction: To investigate a simple visual assessment method of placental function using half-Fourier acquisition single-shot turbo spin-echo (HASTE) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
Methods: The institutional review board approved this retrospective study of fetal MRI in 48 singleton pregnant women for whom placentas had undergone clinical pathological examinations. Two readers independently assessed the placentas using the HASTE scoring system, particularly emphasizing the visualization of the regular two-tone pattern inside and signal intensity (SI) of placental parenchyma referring to SI of the fetal kidney and liver. After categorization using the HASTE scoring system, the associations between the scores and the presence of pathologically proven placental insufficiency or of low birth weight less than the tenth percentile were examined using chi-square tests. The associations between the HASTE scores and the MRI findings previously reported to suggest placental insufficiency, such as placental thickness and placenta to amniotic fluid SI ratio, were also examined using Student t tests.
Results: The HASTE scores were associated significantly with the presence of pathologically proven placental insufficiency (P = .003 for reader 1; P = .04 reader 2) and birth weight less than the tenth percentile (P = .005 for reader 1; P = .003 for reader 2). The HASTE scores were associated significantly with the placenta thickness (P < .0001 for both readers) and the placenta to the amniotic fluid SI ratio (P < .0001 for both readers).
Discussion: The HASTE scoring system is feasible for use in clinical assessment of placental function and for diagnosing placental insufficiency. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
