Excerpt

MR imaging has undergone multiple major advancements in the hardware and sequences in the last few decades. Fetal MRI is an important application of MR imaging which requires fast sequences with good resolution. Hence, with the improvement in MR scanners, prenatal imaging has also undergone a paradigm shift. Although the primary imaging in antenatal diagnosis is ultrasonography (US); MRI is indispensable in today’s imaging world as a problem solving tool. …
