Fetal MRI

Fetal MRI, or fetal magnetic resonance imaging, is a safe imaging technique used during pregnancy to create detailed pictures of a developing fetus inside the womb. Unlike ultrasound, which uses sound waves, MRI uses strong magnets and radio waves to capture images. It helps doctors assess the baby's health, identify developmental issues, and plan for any necessary treatments before birth. Fetal MRI is generally recommended when there are concerns based on ultrasound findings or family history. It offers valuable insights without exposing the mother or baby to radiation.
