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.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that fetal MRI provides clearer, more detailed images to help doctors better diagnose birth defects before birth.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It may not change current medical practice, and results depend on how well MRI works in real-world settings.

Pregnant patients followed in the Fetal Medicine Department of the Necker-Enfants Malades hospital belonging to one of the following 4 groups: * Having prenatal ultrasound screening without detected abnormality * Having an ultrasound examination without abnormality detected but in whom ultrasound examination is not optimal (poor technical conditions, multiple pregnancies, obese patients) * Standardized prenatal screening with ultrasound examination finding an isolated anomaly that does not currently constitute a commonly accepted indication of fetal MRI * A medical termination of pregnancy, in addition to a fetopathological examination (virtopsy)

Ages

18 years and older
