Fetal life is the most dynamic and crucial stage in human neurodevelopment. The exceptional tissue contrast offered by fetal MRI has revolutionized our ability to study brain development and identify emerging abnormalities. Processes like neuronal migration, parenchymal growth, and cortical folding are displayed in remarkable detail. The potential to detect abnormalities prior to birth opens the possibility for interventions earlier in the course of diseases, which could potentially improve the neurological outcomes of fetuses affected by congenital disorders.
