Fetal Brain DWI Shows Region-Specific ADC Alterations in Gestational Diabetes

In a matched case-control study, fetal brain DWI showed higher ADC in MBH, basal ganglia, thalamus, pons and lower ADC in centrum semiovale, periventricular and occipital white matter among GDM-exposed fetuses (all p<0.05).

• Matched 1:1 case-control study of 146 women with GDM and 146 without, matched on maternal age and gestational age (26-40 weeks).
• The authors stress the exploratory and preliminary nature of the findings, which require further validation.
