Abstract
Early experience of multi-sequence fetal cardiac magnetic resonance imaging within a clinical fetal cardiology service
Highlights
Prenatal diagnosis of congenital heart disease is important to ensure both informed parental counselling before birth, and effective planning of potentially life-saving interventions after birth
We present our initial experience of 20 fetal cardiac MRI cases, each referred following fetal echocardiographic assessment to resolve specific points of diagnostic uncertainty
Single-shot turbo spin-echo (HASTE) sequences produced T2 weighted images with black-blood like contrast which was useful for assessing the extracardiac vascular anatomy
