perfusional changes of conjoined twins using diffusion-weighted imaging and apparent diffusion coefficient. On
omphalopagus conjoined twins and three singletons with borderline ventriculomegaly, MRIs were performed at the same
gestational week as the control group. For both the brain regions (p = 0.005) and the placenta (p = 0.005), there was a
significant ADC difference between the conjoined twins and the control group (p = 0.018). As a result of reduced perfusion in
the placenta and brain of conjoined twins, ADC values might be lower in these organs than in those of singletons. Pregnancies
with monochorionic multiples and singletons are more prevalent will be compared in future studies based on our findings</Abstract><Email> Dr Nagateja Bonala@gmail.com</Email><articletype>Research</articletype><volume>12</volume><issue>2</issue><year>2022</year><keyword>Conjoined twins, Omphalopagus, Diffusion-weighted imaging, Apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC)</keyword><AUTHORS>Dr Nagateja Bonala</AUTHORS><afflication>Katuri Medical College and Hospital, Guntur, Andhra Pradesh, India.</afflication></Article></Articles>
