Prenatal anatomical imaging in fetuses with congenital diaphragmatic hernia.
The role of prenatal ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging in the diagnosis and management of congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is reviewed. Topics include morphologic imaging and vascular assessment of the developing lung, the value of imaging parameters as prognostic predictors in CDH and the role of imaging following percutaneous fetoscopic endoluminal tracheal occlusion.
