This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (CFDA 93.865 - Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research) will develop a new approach for secondary fetal screening using 0.55T MRI technology. The $707,218 award to Children's Hospital Los Angeles aims to assess the potential of lower-field 0.55T MRI to serve as an alternative screening modality for high-risk pregnancies with poor acoustic windows that compromise the diagnostic utility of standard fetal ultrasound. The project will compare the image quality, diagnostic confidence, and ease of interpretation of 0.55T fetal MRI to the clinically indicated 1.5T MRI, and develop new 0.55T fetal MRI methods to leverage the advantages of this field strength. This research represents a paradigm shift in the role of fetal MRI for prenatal diagnosis, with the goal of improving the speed, comfort, safety, and diagnostic yield for mothers with limited ultrasound access.
