Prenatal Diagnosis of Fetal Anamolies by Ultrasonography & MRI: A Pictoral Presentation

Ultrasonography (USG) is commonly employed for assessing fetal development during pregnancy. However, fetal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has emerged as a valuable tool to complement USG by confirming or ruling out suspected abnormalities and uncovering additional issues, thus enhancing perinatal care and altering pregnancy outcomes. Recent advancements in ultrafast MRI sequences have significantly improved its diagnostic capabilities. This pictorial essay showcases a range of structural anomalies affecting various systems such as the central nervous system, thorax, genitourinary tract, gastrointestinal tract, and other miscellaneous anomalies. Additionally, anomalies in twin pregnancies and placental abnormalities are also explored in this comprehensive review.
