Non-invasive measurement of biochemical profiles in the healthy fetal brain

Proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-MRS) of the fetal brain can be used to study emerging metabolite profiles in the developing brain. Identifying early deviations in brain metabolic profiles in high-risk fetuses may offer important adjunct clinical information to improve surveillance and management during pregnancy. To investigate the normative trajectory of the fetal brain metabolites during the second half of gestation, and to...
