Abstract
Anomalies in brain development may lead to neurological disorders and developmental impairment and may even affect the survival in the prenatal period or later in the early stages of life. Prenatal ultrasonography is the most widely used imaging technique for prenatal care. However, it has limitations to detect abnormalities in brain development due to fetal position, gestational age or skull ossification. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) has been increasingly used in clinic to quantitatively assess brain growth and development during the fetal and neonatal period with millimeter-level image resolution, high soft tissue contrast and volumetric coverage. It becomes an essential and ideal technique in clinical care to evaluate fetuses who have risks of developmental abnormalities but not apparently shown on prenatal sonogram.
