Fetal brain MRI: Neurometrics, Typical Diagnoses, and Resolving Common Dilemmas.

This review presents a practical approach to imaging the fetal brain by MRI. Herein, we demonstrate how to measure brain structures and fluid spaces, and discuss the importance of comparing measurements to normative biometric references at a corresponding gestational age. We present some common imaging dilemmas of the technical aspects of fetal MRI with regards to typical regions of abnormality including the cerebrum, the ventricular system, and the posterior fossa, and discuss how to resolve them.
