Fetal brain Super-Resolution Reconstruction reliability from clinical MRI data

In this study, we characterized the geometric reliability of the Super-Resolution (SR) images reconstructed via NiftyMIC and MIALSRTK toolkits over a common clinical fetal MR dataset (20-21 weeks of gestation). We compare 15 biometric measures derived from the acquired 2D images with those derived from the SR brain volumes. Furthermore, we examined two different acquisition sequences (TSE Vs. b-FFE) to evaluate which of them lead to more reliable measures and high-resolution reconstructions. Our findings strengthen the adoption of SR toolkits for fetal brain reconstructions to perform biometry evaluations, suggesting to use TSE sequences.
