Abstract
Structural abnormalities such as cerebral malformations and destructive lesions can be sonographically missed on prenatal sonography yet detectable by fetal MR imaging. Moreover, fetal MR imaging is not susceptible to many of the limitations of sonography. In addition, with continued advances in MR techniques, such as diffusion weighted and parallel imaging, fetal MR imaging offers the promise of contributing to our understanding of normal as well as abnormal brain development. (1) Fetal MR imaging is used primarily to confirm and characterize brain abnormalities detected by routine prenatal sonography. When a sonographically suspected abnormality is confirmed, fetal MR is also used to identify any additional sonographically missed CNS
