Purpose or Case Report: Fetal MR imaging plays a continuously increasing role as an adjunct to routine prenatal ultrasound examinations in confirming and clarifying prenatal abnormalities, usually at an earlier gestational age. It also has a critical role in parental counseling, prenatal and postnatal surgical planning, and delivery method. Our pictorial review demonstrates a variety of common and less typical congenital pathology.
Methods & Materials: In conjunction with our Regional Fetal Evaluation Center, we retrospectively identified patients who underwent a fetal MRI examination and then correlated their fetal MR imaging findings with their infant’s postnatal follow up radiological studies.
Results: Our review illustrates a wide spectrum of abnormalities including pathology involving the brain, spine, chest, abdomen, pelvis, and musculoskeletal soft tissues.

Conclusions: Fetal MRI plays a critical and complimentary role in early and precise diagnosis of congenital abnormalities aiding in parental counseling as well as appropriate and timely prenatal and postnatal care.
