Feasibility of fetal cardiac function and anatomy assessment by real-time spiral balanced steady-state free precession magnetic resonance imaging at 0.55T
A spiral real-time bSSFP pulse sequence at 0.55T can provide both low-framerate and high-framerate fetal heart images without relying on maternal breath-hold, specialized gating devices, or cardiac gating. The low-framerate images offer high diagnostic quality structural evaluations of the fetal heart, while the high-framerate images capture fetal heart motion and may enable functional assessments.
