To evaluate the reproducibility of regional apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) measurements of the normal fetal brain in the second and third trimesters. Fifty normal singleton fetuses between 19–37 weeks of gestation were studied without sedation from healthy pregnant women. Single-shot diffusion DWI of the fetal brain was obtained using a 1.5-Tesla MR scanner and a 6-channel body array coil. ADC maps were created using 0 and 1000 b-values along 3 orthogonal directions. Two examiners independently measured ADC values in the cerebellar hemispheres (CH), pons, thalamus, basal ganglia (BG), centrum semiovale (CSO), frontal (FWM), parietal (PWM), temporal (TWM), and occipital white matter (OWM). Correlation between ADC values and menstrual age was assessed by linear regression. The bias and agreement of ADC measurements were determined using Bland-Altman plots. ADC values either remained constant (BG, FWM, PWM, TWM, CSO) or decreased (CH, pons, thalamus) with advancing menstrual age. Mean intra-observer bias for ADC measurements was not significantly different from zero. Small differences in inter-observer bias were detected for CH (1.26 ± 0.20 vs. 1.20 ± 0.18, p = 0.006), PWM (1.37 ± 0.29 vs. 1.33 ± 0.26, p = 0.02), and CSO (1.36 ± 0.29 vs. 1.33 ± 0.28, p < 0.0001). Measurement agreement was acceptable. ADC measurements in normal un-sedated fetuses in the second and third trimesters are reproducible except for small differences for PWM, CH, and CSO between examiners.
