OBJECTIVE: Our aim was to determine the supplemental value of MRI in fetal abdominal disease detected on prenatal sonography. CONCLUSION: Our preliminary results suggest the primary supplemental value of MRI relative to sonography in fetal abdominal disease lies in improved tissue characterization rather than in improved anatomic characterization.
