Service Providers for MRI of fetal Brain
MRI of the fetal brain is a specialized imaging procedure used during pregnancy to assess the developing brain of a fetus. It provides high-resolution images to detect abnormalities or conditions affecting brain development, particularly when concerns arise from ultrasound findings. Common indications for this MRI include abnormal ultrasound results (e.g., ventriculomegaly or hydrocephalus), genetic conditions (e.g., neural tube defects), infections (e.g., CMV or toxoplasmosis), growth restrictions (e.g., intrauterine growth restriction), and malformations like cortical dysplasia. The procedure is typically performed between 20-34 weeks of pregnancy, does not use ionizing radiation, and is generally safe for both mother and baby. Mild discomfort may occur from lying still during the scan.
