Fetal imaging.
Presently, MRI is an adjunct to prenatal sonography. It provides information that can aid in the diagnosis of fetal anomalies, affect prenatal counseling and management of the pregnancy, and guide prenatal intervention and delivery planning. With further advances in technology, particularly shorter scan times and better image resolution, the applications for fetal imaging are likely to increase.
