title: [Indications and technique of fetal magnetic resonance imaging].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  Evaluation and confirmation of fetal pathologies previously suspected or diagnosed with ultrasound.
  
  
  METHODS
  Ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
  
  
  METHODS
  Technique for prenatal fetal examination.
  
  
  METHODS
  Fetal MRI is an established supplementary technique to prenatal ultrasound.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Fetal MRI should only be used as an additional method in prenatal diagnostics and not for routine screening.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Fetal MRI should only be performed in perinatal medicine centers after a previous level III ultrasound examination.
