Fetal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an important adjunct to ultrasound in evaluation of fetal urogenital system. While, ultrasound remains the primary modality, MRI helps in more complicated cases or where ultrasound is limited due to technical factors such as poor acoustic window. The goal of this article is to review the common fetal urogenital anomalies and their imaging manifestations on ultrasound and MRI, and discuss how MRI adds diagnostic value.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008279 Magnetic Resonance Imaging Non-invasive method of demonstrating internal anatomy based on the principle that atomic nuclei in a strong magnetic field absorb pulses of radiofrequency energy and emit them as radiowaves which can be reconstructed into computerized images. The concept includes proton spin tomographic techniques.
