Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been used to image the in utero fetus for the past 3 decades. Although not as commonplace as other patient-oriented MRI, it is a growing field and demonstrating a role in the clinical care of the fetus. Indeed, the body of literature involving fetal MRI exceeds 3000 published articles. Indeed, there is interest in accessing even the healthy fetus with MRI to further understand the development of humans during the fetal stage. On the horizon is fetal imaging using 3.0-T clinical systems. Although a clear path is not necessarily determined, experiments, theoretical calculations, advances in pulse sequence design, new hardware, and experience from imaging at 1.5 T help define the path.
在过去三十年中，磁共振成像（MRI）已被用于对子宫内胎儿进行成像。尽管它不像其他面向患者的MRI那样常见，但它是一个不断发展的领域，并在胎儿的临床护理中发挥着作用。事实上，涉及胎儿MRI的文献数量已超过3000篇。确实，人们有兴趣使用MRI对健康胎儿进行检查，以进一步了解人类在胎儿阶段的发育情况。使用3.0-T临床系统进行胎儿成像即将成为现实。虽然不一定有明确的路径，但实验、理论计算、脉冲序列设计的进展、新硬件以及1.5 T成像的经验有助于确定这条路径。
