RECIO RODRIGUEZ, Manuel et al. Fetal MRI: thoracic, abdominal ana pelvic pathology. Rev. argent. radiol. [online]. 2012, vol.76, n.1, pp.9-28. ISSN 1852-9992.

Ultrasonography (US) is the method of chotee in fetal examinaüon. However, magnetic resonance (MR) imaging is a complementan/ technique that contributes to the aecurate diagnosis of fetal anomalies. The benefits of MR include excellent tissue contrast, large field of view and relative operator independence. Most previous reports on fetal MR have focused on central nervous system (CNS). However, MR is a useful tool for the examination of fetal thoracic and abdominal anomalies. This article illustrates the different features of fetal thoracic and abdominal anomalies on MR, and further discusses the indications and benefits of fetal MR.
