摘要
Fetal magnetic resonance imaging has become a useful noninvasive modality to examine the human fetus in case of suspicious sonography. Normally, central nervous system structures of the fetus in utero indicate the need for further evaluation. Fast T-2-weighted sequences are used, which minimize artifacts and allow high contrast between different structures. Cases in which a diaphragmatic hernia was diagnosed via ultrasound will be shown in the magnetic resonance images of the fetuses in this study. (C) 2008 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
