title: [Value of MR imaging of the fetal kidney].
abstract: Sonography is the imaging modality of choice for initial evaluation of the fetus. However, the role of MR imaging for fetal evaluation is expanding. Based on a review of seven cases, the role of MRI to further characterize renal abnormalities detected at US, especially hyperechoic kidneys, is demonstrated.
