“…Imaging complex genitourinary tract abnormalities including bladder exstrophy, cloacal exstrophy, and lower urinary tract obstructions may be better defined using an MRI (Chauvin et al, 2012). MRI has also been used to predict residual lung volume and neonatal survival in the setting of chest masses and congenital diaphragmatic hernias (Bebbington et al, 2014; Zamora et al, 2014). MRI scanning is believed to be less useful for evaluating abdominal wall defects.…”

With refinement in ultrasound technology, detection of fetal structural abnormalities has improved and there have been detailed reports of the natural history and expected outcomes for many anomalies. The ability to either reassure a high-risk woman with normal intrauterine images or offer comprehensive counseling and offer options in cases of strongly suspected lethal or major malformations has shifted prenatal diagnoses to the earliest possible gestational age. When indicated, scans in early gestation are valuable in accurate gestational dating. Stricter sonographic criteria for early nonviability guard against unnecessary intervention. Most birth defects are without known risk factors, and detection of certain malformations is possible in the late first trimester. The best time for a standard complete fetal and placental scan is 18–20 weeks. In addition, certain soft anatomic markers provide clues to chromosomal aneuploidy risk. Maternal obesity and multifetal pregnancies are now more common and further limit early gestation visibility. Other advanced imaging techniques during early gestation in select cases of suspected malformations include fetal echocardiography and magnetic resonance imaging.

“…In our case prenatal US and MR findings of serious bilateral pulmonary hypoplasia, not associated with other abnormalities (such as congenital diaphragmatic hernia, congenital lung masses, giant omphalocele, severe oligohydramnios and skeletal dysplasia), suggested a diffuse disorder of lung development. A large number of studies, predominantly with regard to fetuses with congenital diaphragmatic hernia, has shown the correlation between FLV and neonatal pulmonary hypoplasia (9)(10)(11). We evaluated FLV, both with US and MR studies.…”

“…Lung volumetry is an important prognostic parameter to assess pulmonary hypoplasia and may facilitate prenatal counselling and is achieved mainly with manual tracing on axial T2W slices over the thorax. [35][36][37] Here, with thinner T2W slices, the lung tissue can be traced more exactly and the estimated lung volume will be more accurate. With thinner T2W slices, the feeding vessel in pulmonary sequestration can be visualized.…”

Fetal MR now plays an important role in the clinical work-up of pregnant females. It is performed mainly at 1.5 T. However, the desire to obtain a more precise fetal depiction or the fact that some institutions have access only to a 3.0 T scanner has resulted in a growing interest in performing fetal MR at 3.0 T. The aim of this article was to provide a reference for the use of 3.0 T MRI as a prenatal diagnostic method.
