THE FETAL HEART

Prenatal cardiovascular imaging has been a domain of ultrasound so far. New MR- methods allow to provide supplementary informations. The combined application of both methods means a big step forward with respect to information of the cardiac surgeon and individual prognosis.

VENTRICULOMEGALY AND ACQUIRED CONDITIONS

Prenatal imaging of ventriculomegaly is still discussed controversially. Do we need MRI? Is ultrasound alone sufficient? Is the condition the consequence of a malformative process or acquired? How can a patient be counseled and /or treated ? All these questions will be addressed.

COMMISSURAL ABNORMALITIES

Abnormalities of the corpus callosum may or may not be associated with an adverse neuropsychological outcome. Imaging methods combined with genetic testing have to be used together to achieve a most accurate prognosis. In addition, postnatal research helps to define possible deficits.

NEW DEVELOPMENTS AND BIG DATA

Prenatal imaging methods develop consistently, producing a myriad of data. Consequently machine learning methods are applied and help to establish a new view on early brain development and deviations thereof

(POTENTIALLY) TREATABLE CONDITIONS

Surgical and drug therapy has been applied successfully in different fetal pathologic states. The challenge for prenatal diagnosis is to recognize treatable conditions timely.

MR IMAGE QUALITY

Optimal image quality requires a profound knowledge of MR techniques and correct application of the respective sequences. In addition post-processing may help to answer certain questions.
