Magnetic resonance (MR) was first started in prenatal diagnosis in 1983. Furthermore, the image quality was performed very low, the conclusion of the study was very optimistic.
The authors expressed the assumption that the safety of this technique for the mother and fetus will be proven, and thanks to the ability of magnetic resonance imaging to examine the water content in tissues, there are no wide possibilities of one application in obstetrics. Now, after more than 20 years, you can say that the conclusion of the first study was correct.
Although ultrasound remains the basic method of screening for congenital malformations of the fetus, magnetic resonance imaging has recently become a valuable complement and the scope for using this technique in prenatal diagnosis has been steadily increasing. The safety of magnetic resonance imaging has been repeatedly demonstrated by the technical development of imaging methods with the introduction of ultra-fast sequences of meanings of the shift in imaging quality and the extent of MR use in pregnancy.
