Indication and Safety for Fetal MR Imaging

Abstract

　Fetal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an important diagnostic modality in adjunct with ultrasound (US). The purpose of fetal MRI is to complement an US, either by confirming the US findings or by acquiring additional findings. The use of fetal MRI has been increasing in the prenatal diagnosis of fetal neck, chest, and abdominal malformations, and it is well established in other fields, especially in that of fetal CNS anomalies. This study aimed to review the application and safety of fetal MRI.
