Fetal Cardiac MRI

Fetal cardiac MRI

Background MRI has been confirmed as an important tool for fetal central nervous system and other diseases. MRI has also emerged as a powerful approach to imaging heart diseases in infants. But fetus with heart diseases diagnosed by MRI has relative rarely been reported. Now most doctors agree that fetal cardiac MRI can provide some additional information when the patient was with some special ...

Conventional Fetal Mri

INTRODUCTION Fetal MRI is a safe, noninvasive way to image the developing fetal brain. In clinical practice, it is primarily performed for further evaluation of a suspected sonographic abnormality. Fetal MRI is also performed in conditions where prenatal sonography of the fetal brain is normal but the fetus is at increased risk for neurodevelopmental abnormalities. These include complications o...

Cardiac MRI

Introduction Cardiac MR imaging allows for the examination of anatomy, function, and metabolism and its clinical use is steadily increasing. It poses unique challenges to the imaging protocols as it requires high spatial resolution over a larger volume in the presence of cardiac and breathing motion. This overview of cardiac MRI discusses methods to reduce motion artifacts and various clinical ...

Fetal Gastrointestinal Imaging with MRI

Introduction: Although magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the fetus was sometimes used for the fetal imaging in the past, its usefulness was limited by the fetal motion arising from long acquisition times of MRI. The recent prevalence of prenatal MRI has been associated with the developments of ultrafast MR technique such as single-shot fast spin-echo sequence (SSFSE, GE). The SSFSE sequence i...
