• Research summary

  This study aims to assess the additional value of MRI over that available from ultrasound,in any babies with fetal body anomalies detected with ultrasound. Furthermore, to assess the impact of the fetal MRI on the patient.
  It is hypothesized that fetal body MRI provides important information, that alters patient management or counselling, that is not available from ultrasound.
  We propose to collect the information from the fetal maternal medicine ultrasound scans, perform a fetal MRI scan to standardised sequences and parameters, collect outcome data.
