Fetal Neuroimaging Updates.

MR imaging is used in conjunction with ultrasound screening for fetal brain abnormalities because it offers better contrast, higher resolution, and has multiplanar capabilities that increase the accuracy and confidence of diagnosis. Fetal motion still severely limits the MR imaging sequences that can be acquired. We outline the current acquisition strategies for fetal brain MR imaging and discuss the near term advances that will improve its reliability. Prospective and retrospective motion correction aim to make the complement of MR neuroimaging modalities available for fetal diagnosis, improve the performance of existing modalities, and open new horizons to understanding in utero brain development.
