The fetal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an effective method in the prenatal evaluation of normal brain morphology and diagnosis of diseases of the central nervous system. It is an important complement to clinical ultrasound. The cerebellum is one of the least affected structures in cases of fetal growth restriction, so it is a good index for evaluating the fetal development and gestational age. Thus, the biometric evaluation is essential in fetal prenatal diagnosis of brain development. Purpose – Evaluation of the transversal cerebellum diameter (the anatomical structures reference of fetal central nervous system) and compare it with an international reference study in this regard. Material and methods – The sample consisted of 84 pregnant women who have performed magnetic resonance in a medical imaging clinic in the Centre region. The average considered for evaluating the fetal development was the transversal cerebellum diameter. Results – The results for the transversal cerebellum diameter demonstrate the absence of statistically significant mean differences (p>0.05) in the number of weeks of gestation compared with theoretical values measured in the study by Garel. Conclusion – Based on the obtained results we can conclude that the parameter analyzed is consistent with the publication of Catherine Garel – Le développement du cerveau foetal atlas IRM et biometrie.

Objectives – Understanding how brain works was the neuroscience’s goal, since day one. The cerebral analysis development’s came along with the widespread of fMRI usage. Following the neuroscience facts, this study aims to identify the cerebral localization of the motor cortex, in a young and healthy population. By allowing a better knowledge of this area, it gives an important contribution to the neurology science. Material and methods – fMRIs were performed in 30 healthy subjects, in clinical medical imaging. To achieve this purpose, we employed proper resonance equipment. The motor paradigm used was the fingers’ movement. By the obtained images, the region’s areas were measured. The data were analysed by a statistic program (SPSS version 19). Conclusion – In conclusion, we observed that the area which was more active, when motor paradigms were in execution, relies on left cerebral hemisphere.
