Abstract
Fetal cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has emerged as a complementary modality for prenatal imaging in suspected congenital heart disease. Ongoing technical improvements extend the potential clinical value of fetal cardiovascular MRI. Ascertaining equivocal prenatal diagnostics obtained with ultrasonography allows for appropriate parental counseling and planning of postnatal surgery. This work summarizes current acquisition techniques and clinical applications of fetal cardiovascular MRI in the prenatal diagnosis and follow-up of fetuses with congenital heart disease. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: 3 TECHNICAL EFFICACY: Stage 3.
