First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is testing whether adding fetal MRI to standard ultrasound can help doctors better see and diagnose congenital anomalies in unborn babies. Researchers will enroll 1500 pregnant women with single or twin pregnancies between 16 and 36 weeks. The goal is to see if MRI can provide clearer, more detailed images to improve diagnosis and planning.
