  • Title: Fetal imaging of central nervous system abnormalities.
    Author: Golja AM, Estroff JA, Robertson RL.
    Journal: Neuroimaging Clin N Am; 2004 May; 14(2):293-306, viii. PubMed ID: 15182820.
    Abstract:
    Fetal MR imaging is complementary to obstetric ultrasonography. The additional information provided by in utero MR imaging may alter prenatal, perinatal, or immediate postnatal management. For example, the MR imaging findings may affect the decision to continue the pregnancy, change the mode, timing, or location of delivery, or modify decisions regarding the necessity of immediate postnatal surgery. Finally, the information contributed by MR may permit a better assessment of the risk of recurrent defects in subsequent pregnancies.
