Abstract
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 T2-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.
