Parental magnetic resonance imaging for the evaluation of fetuses with brain anomalies.

ABSTRACT:

Aim

To evaluate the role of parental magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in assessing fetuses with suspected brain anomalies and its use in prenatal counselling.

Method

A retrospective, multicentre chart review was conducted on fetuses who underwent brain MRI because of suspected brain abnormalities between January 2008 and December 2022, with one or both parents who underwent brain MRI (MRI-Trio) as part of prenatal counselling.
