Role of Ultrasonography and Magnetic Resonance imaging in diagnosis of fetal brain anomalies

Abstract
Abstract
Ultrasound is still the first screening method in pregnancy and
it will continue to be. Sonography remains the mainstay of fetal
assessment.
However, MRI of the fetal CNS is evolving as a powerful tool
for obtaining additional information with which selected
patients and their
health-care professionals can make important management
decisions. When a CNS anomaly is detected at US, MRI
imaging may demonstrate additional findings that may alter
patient counseling and case management.
Given its long record of safety, utility, and cost-effectiveness,
ultrasound will remain the modality of choice when screening
the fetus.
