Abdel Razek AAK, et al. - The researchers conducted this prospective study with a due purpose to find out that in intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR) what is the apparent diffusible coefficient (ADC) of the placenta and fetal organs. Fifteen age-matched pregnant women and 30 consecutive pregnant women between 21-38 years were selected for this study. The mean age of consecutive pregnant women was 31.5 years mean gestational week was 35 ± 2.3. Diffusion-Weighted magnetic resonance imaging was done for all patients and controls. They calculated the ADCs of the placenta and fetal brain, lung and kidney and find out the correlation with neonates needing intensive care unit (ICU) admission and find the difference in ADC of the placenta and fetal brain, lung, and kidney. Based on the cutoff ADCs of the placenta and fetal brain, lung and kidney they concluded that IUGR can be detected through combined ADC of the placenta and fetal organs and it is further instrumental in estimating the fetal need of ICU.
