Synopsis
The objective of this presentation is to provide an overview of fetal cardiac MR imaging methods and their applications in congenital heart disease.
The objective of this presentation is to provide an overview of fetal cardiac MR imaging methods and their applications in congenital heart disease.
This talk will cover recent technical advances in fetal CMR, fetal normal cardiovascular image signs and appearances of various structural congenital heart disease on fetal CMR. We will review the embryology and anatomy of the heart. We will cover fetal CMR technique (such as gating, imaging sequences including SSFP, SSTSE, real-time non gated SSFP and PC Cine sequences et al) and evaluation of congenital heart disease (anatomic segmental approach). We will present fetal normal CMR imaging and multiple imaging examples of congenital heart disease.Acknowledgements
