Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an appealing technology for fetal cardiovascular
assessment. It can be used to visualize fetal cardiac and vascular anatomy, to quantify fetal
blood flow, and to quantify fetal blood oxygen saturation and hematocrit. However, there are
practical limitations to the use of conventional MRI for fetal cardiovascular assessment,
including the small size and high heart rate of the human fetus, the lack of conventional
cardiac gating methods to synchronize data acquisition, and the potential corruption of MRI …
