Abstract
The aim of this work is to assess the role of MRI in assessing of fetal congenital anomalies as complementary method for ultrasound.
The study was performed from august 2018 to December 2020. It included 53 pregnant females provisionally diagnosed to have fetal congenital anomalies patients who were referred to the MRI unit of the Radio-diagnosis and intervention department of Alexandria main university hospital planned for fetal MRI. All patients were subjected to antenatal fetal ultrasound for assessment of congenital anomalies followed by fetal MRI was done for further diagnostic confirmation.
Once the US suspects any congenital anomaly, MRI was routinely performed at the second or third trimester between (18-36) weeks of gestation.
Fetal MRI was done using a 1.5-T whole-body system (Philips ingenuous, Netherlands), using a12 channel pelvic phased arrayed coil.
Their age ranged from 18 years to 40 years with a mean age of 27 years.
Considering the different systems affected, we had 23(43.5%) cases with CNS anomalies and 30 (58%) cases with non-CNS anomalies including, 5 cases with chest anomalies, 1 case with facial anomalies, 11 cases with GIT anomalies, 3 cases with anomalies affecting the neck, 8 cases with renal anomalies and 2 cases of twin with different anomalies.
