Utility of Prenatal MRI and Ultrasound to Predict Outcomes of Congenital Foregut Malformations
Investigating the Use of Fetal MRI for Diagnosing Congenital Lung Malformations
Brief description of study.
Given the controversies posed in the literature regarding the use of fetal MRI for the diagnosis and outcomes of fetuses with congenital lung malformations, we seek to further investigate the utility of this imaging modality. We intend to retrospectively identify all patients at IU Health Riley Hospital with the diagnosis for congenital lung malformation who have undergone fetal MRI.

Eligibility of study
You may be eligible for this study if you meet the following criteria:
- Conditions: Congenital Foregut Malformations
-
Age: 100 years or below
-
Gender: All
This study investigates the use of fetal MRI to diagnose congenital lung malformations. Congenital lung malformations are conditions present at birth where the lungs do not develop properly. The purpose of this study is to look at how effective fetal MRI is in identifying these malformations.
Participants in this study will have their medical records reviewed to gather information about fetal MRI use. This will help determine if fetal MRI is a useful tool for diagnosing lung issues before birth.
- Who can participate: Participants are those with existing medical records of fetal MRI for congenital lung malformations.
- Study details: Participants will not need to take any action as this study involves reviewing existing medical records.
