Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a reliable method, with a complementary role to Ultrasound (US) Echocardiography, that can be used to fully comprehend and precisely diagnose congenital cardiac malformations. Besides the anatomical study of the fetal cardiovascular system, it allows us to study the function of the fetal heart, remaining, at the same time, a safe adjunct to the classic fetal echocardiography. MRI also allows for the investigation of cardiac and placental diseases by providing information about hematocrit, oxygen saturation, and blood flow in fetal vessels. It is crucial for fetal medicine specialists and pediatric cardiologists to closely follow the advances of fetal cardiac MRI in order to provide the best possible care. In this review, we summarize the advance in techniques and their practical utility to date.
磁共振成像（MRI）是一种可靠的方法，对超声心动图起到补充作用，可用于全面理解和精确诊断先天性心脏畸形。除了对胎儿心血管系统进行解剖学研究外，它还能让我们研究胎儿心脏的功能，同时仍是经典胎儿超声心动图的安全辅助手段。MRI还可通过提供有关胎儿血管中血细胞比容、氧饱和度和血流的信息，用于研究心脏和胎盘疾病。胎儿医学专家和儿科心脏病专家密切关注胎儿心脏MRI的进展以提供最佳护理至关重要。在本综述中，我们总结了迄今为止技术方面的进展及其实际应用。
