Normal brain volumes from fetal MRI scans
Part of Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study looks at past fetal MRI scans to create a map of normal brain growth in babies before birth. It may help doctors better understand what healthy brain development looks like.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child had a fetal brain MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) more than 3 years ago at one of four specific hospitals.
- Your child does not have an abnormality of the corpus callosum (the band of fibers connecting the brain's two sides).
- Your child does not have a genetic syndrome, chromosome problem, or a known harmful gene change.
- Your child does not have serious birth defects outside the brain that are part of a syndrome.
- Your child was not diagnosed with poor growth in the womb (intrauterine growth restriction) during pregnancy.
- Your child was not exposed to certain infections (like TORCH) or substances (like alcohol or drugs) before birth.

This study uses fetal MRI scans from a large group of healthy pregnancies to create standard growth charts for brain measurements. This helps doctors better understand normal fetal brain development.
This study uses a special type of MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) to look at the brain development of babies who are growing slowly in the womb. The goal is to see if this scan can help doctors better understand this condition and how to care for these babies.
This study looks at how a mother's health and experiences during pregnancy may affect her baby's brain growth and early development. You and your baby would have special MRI brain scans, fill out some questionnaires, and then your child's development would be followed until they are 6 years old.
This study uses safe MRI scans during natural sleep to look at how babies' brains develop, especially those at risk for cerebral palsy. It aims to find early signs of movement problems so treatment can start sooner.
This study tests whether doing an MRI during a specific window of pregnancy is safe and useful. You may be able to join if you are 18 or older and your pregnancy is between 16 and 36 weeks.
This study uses ultrasound to examine fetal brain and spine development in pregnant women. It compares scans from pregnancies where a brain or spine issue is suspected with those from healthy pregnancies to improve understanding and diagnosis.
