Fetal cardiac MRI: a single center experience over 14-years on the potential utility as an adjunct to fetal technically inadequate echocardiography

Abstract Unlike ultrasound (US) imaging, foetal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is not significantly limited by maternal obesity, oligohydramnios, uterine myoma, twins, and foetal lie, which impair US visualization of the foetus. The present study aimed to introduce our foetal cardiac MRI scanning...
