Prenatal diagnosis and classification of fetal hypospadias: The role and value of magnetic resonance imaging

Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging Feb 26, 2021

Li K, Zhang X, Yan G, et al. - Researchers conducted this retrospective study to examine the role of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the prenatal diagnosis and classification of fetuses with hypospadias. Participants in the study were 35 fetuses (median gestational age = 37, range 24–39 weeks) with possible hypospadias. Three experienced radiologists diagnosed and classified the hypospadias using MRI based on MRI characteristics, including a short penile shaft, abnormal penile tip, penile curvature, bifid scrotum, tulip sign, and penoscrotal transposition. According to the data, the accuracy of MRI in the diagnosis of hypospadias, severe hypospadias, and mild hypospadias was 85.71%, 82.86%, and 80.00%, respectively. In the diagnosis of fetal hypospadias, MRI has good efficacy. Furthermore, MRI could help to determine the severity of fetal hypospadias.
