ABSTRACT During the last decade, increasing interest in magnetic resonance imaging has emerged for the evaluation of fetal abnormalities detected on ultrasound. The advent of single-shot rapid acquisition sequences has greatly facilitated our ability to obtain detailed imaging information of the fetal brain. To date, fetal magnetic resonance imaging has shown to have an important role in the investigation of cerebral abnormalities suspected by sonography, and in the detection of subtle brain anomalies associated with high-risk pregnancies. Magnetic resonance imaging has proved to be a useful adjunct to sonography during the prenatal period of development, especially for the detection of acquired disorders.
