“…We can hypothesize the role of FI as a teaching tool from the preliminary results published in the literature by offering both the radiologist and gynecologist the possibility of increasing their diagnostic confidence and better recognition of the limitations and advantages of one or the other method …”

“…Therefore, it remains a challenge to precisely define the contribution of FI as it may be inextricably related to the experience of the medical team with each modality . Regardless, FI in fetal medicine provides fertile ground for increased collaboration between obstetricians and radiologists …”

“…Although many of these imaging techniques are not applicable to the fetus because of the known limitations of the use of ionizing radiation‐based modalities, MRI and US fusion technology (fusion imaging [FI]), has been successfully introduced in the field of medical imaging and has been used principally for the diagnosis and treatment of tumours . The fusion of MRI and US images has more recently emerged as a feasible prenatal multimodality imaging technique and may prove useful in the near future, as it would allow the combination of anatomical and functional information that can be acquired by using each technique independently …”

Fusion imaging (FI), the simultaneous display of the same anatomical region using two imaging modalities, has been used in other areas of medicine for both diagnosis and guiding interventions. Examples include positron emission tomography‐computed tomography (PET‐CT) imaging in oncology and ultrasound‐magnetic resonance imaging (US‐MRI) fusion in biopsies of the prostate gland. The underlying principle is to take advantage of the complementary information in each modality to improve accuracy, be it diagnostic accuracy or targeting accuracy in biopsies. For example, PET‐CT overlays the metabolic activity of lesions on the superb spatial and anatomical detail of CT. While the historical mainstay of fetal imaging has been ultrasound, advances in ultrafast MR imaging together with advances in fetal MRI over the past two decades, have resulted in the opportunity to explore fusion imaging in fetal medicine. We present an overview of the principles of US‐MRI fusion imaging in prenatal medicine, report our local experience, and review the literature in this emerging area. We share our perspective on how FI can improve diagnostic confidence, be used as an educational tool, and potentially enhance guidance in certain fetal procedures.
