Ultrasound is the screening modality of choice for fetal imaging. However, when additional information regarding fetal anatomy or pathology is needed, fast MR imaging is increasingly being used as a correlative imaging modality. Performances of high quality sonographic and MR examinations as well as interpretation by individuals familiar with prenatal diagnosis are important factors for optimal parental counseling. MR imaging frequently adds additional information regarding fetal central nervous system anomalies beyond that available with ultrasound. This information commonly changes patient counseling, and at times patient management.
超声是胎儿成像的首选筛查方式。然而，当需要有关胎儿解剖结构或病理的更多信息时，快速磁共振成像正越来越多地被用作一种相关成像方式。高质量超声和磁共振检查的性能以及由熟悉产前诊断的人员进行解读，是为家长提供最佳咨询的重要因素。磁共振成像常常能提供超声检查之外有关胎儿中枢神经系统异常的更多信息。这些信息通常会改变对患者的咨询内容，有时还会改变患者的治疗方案。
