[Value of MR imaging of the fetal kidney]. / Apport de l'IRM dans l'étude du rein foetal.

ABSTRACT

Sonography is the imaging modality of choice for initial evaluation of the fetus. However, the role of MR imaging for fetal evaluation is expanding. Based on a review of seven cases, the role of MRI to further characterize renal abnormalities detected at US, especially hyperechoic kidneys, is demonstrated.
