摘要

背景:采用脂肪抑制(FS)T2称重涡轮自旋回波(TSE)序列检测胸腺信号和胸腺位置特征,测量特定水平的二维直径,并分析其与孕周的关系:本研究涉及 51 个胎儿标本。方法:本研究涉及 51 个胎儿标本,采用 3.0-T 磁共振成像系统进行死后磁共振成像扫描。利用 DICOM 图像对胎儿胸腺的 T2 加权成像(T2WI)特征进行定量研究。统计分析采用 Chi-Square 检验、单向方差分析和学生 t 检验:结果:胎儿胸腺的形态存在异质性。FS T2加权TSE序列清晰显示了胎儿胸腺的微观结构。胸腺广泛呈分叶状。每个小叶的中央信号远高于周边信号。此外,FS-T2WI 图像可清晰显示充满液体的小叶间隔膜,并呈现线性高信号。胎儿胸腺的信号强度随孕周而增加。在特定平面测量的直径与孕周高度相关:结论:FS T2加权TSE序列可提供胎儿胸腺的高分辨率图像。结论:FS T2加权TSE序列可提供高分辨率的胎儿胸腺图像,特定平面上信号强度、位置和二维直径的变化可作为胎儿胸腺的研究方向。

T2-weighted Imaging Features of the Fetal Thymus in the Middle and Late Pregnancy: A Post-mortem Study based on Magnetic Resonance Imaging.

Background: Fat-suppressed (FS) T2-weighed turbo spin-echo (TSE) sequence was used to detect the signal of the thymus and the characteristics of the thymus location, measure the two-dimensional diameter at specific levels, and analyze the association with gestational weeks.

Methods: This study involved 51 fetal specimens. Post-mortem MRI scanning was implemented with a 3.0-T MRI system. T2-weighted imaging (T2WI) features of the thymus in fetuses were quantitatively investigated with DICOM images. Statistical analysis was done with the Chi-Square test, oneway ANOVA, and Student's t-test.

Results: There was heterogeneity in the morphology of the fetal thymus. FS T2-weighted TSE sequence clearly exhibited the microstructure of the fetal thymus. The thymus extensively showed a lobulated appearance. The central signal is much higher than the peripheral signal in each lobule. In addition, FS-T2WI images can clearly show the interlobular septum, which is filled with fluid and presents a linear high signal. The signal intensity of fetal thymus increased with gestational weeks. The diameter measured in a particular plane was highly correlated with gestational week.

Conclusion: FS T2-weighted TSE sequence provides high-resolution images of the fetal thymus. The change in signal intensity, location, and two-dimensional diameter in a specific plane can be used as a research direction for the fetal thymus.
