“…In cases where pelvimetry is requested, MR offers the benefit of accurate measurement of the bony structures in the pelvis without ionizing radiation. With gradient echo techniques, these scans can be performed in less than 5 min [11]. A midline sagittal view is obtained for assessing the fetal presentation and for measuring the anteroposterior pelvic inlet diameter (from the inner cortex of the symphysis pubis to the sacral promontory).…”

“…Magnetic resonance pelvimetry can easily be added to fetal MRI if necessary [18,19]. A major advantage is that the exact relation between the fetal head and birth canal is offered without the use of ionizing radiation (Fig.…”

Prenatal ultrasonography is the primary screening modality for the evaluation of fetal pathology. Ultrafast fetal MRI is a recent development that examines the fetus in utero. The short acquisition times (as short as 400 ms/slice) allow to picture freeze the fetus without the need for fetal sedation. The high spatial resolution, good contrast-to-noise ratio, and the multiplanar capabilities are especially advantageous in pathologies of the fetal central nervous system (CNS). Fetal MRI currently serves as a second-line imaging tool for complex fetal cerebral malformations and pathologies. Fetal ventriculomegaly, lesions within the posterior fossa, and abnormalities in cerebral myelination, migration, and sulcation are particularly well identified.

Magnetic resonance imaging is gaining increasing importance in imaging of the female pelvis. This overview attempts to describe the various imaging strategies in the evaluation of gynecologic diseases, as well as the normal MR anatomy of the female genital organs. The MR indications for the assessment of various pathologic conditions, including characterization and staging of gynecologic neoplasms and prenatal diagnosis of fetal malformations, are discussed.
