Zusammenfassung

Klinisches/methodisches Problem

Evaluierung und Bestätigung von im pränatalen Ultraschall entdeckten Pathologien.

Radiologische Standardverfahren

Ultraschall und Magnetresonanztomographie.

Methodische Innovationen

Pränatale Untersuchungsmethode.

Leistungsfähigkeit

Die fetale MRT ist inzwischen als ergänzende Methode zum pränatalen Ultraschall anerkannt.

Bewertung

Die fetale MRT soll als additive Methode bei klinischer Relevanz, nicht jedoch als Routinescreeningverfahren während der Schwangerschaft angewendet werden.

Empfehlung für die Praxis

Durchführung ausschließlich an einem Perinatalzentrum nach vorangegangenem Level-III-Ultraschall.

Abstract

Clinical/methodical issue

Evaluation and confirmation of fetal pathologies previously suspected or diagnosed with ultrasound.

Standard radiological methods

Ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Methodical innovations

Technique for prenatal fetal examination.

Performance

Fetal MRI is an established supplementary technique to prenatal ultrasound.

Achievements

Fetal MRI should only be used as an additional method in prenatal diagnostics and not for routine screening.

Practical recommendations

Fetal MRI should only be performed in perinatal medicine centers after a previous level III ultrasound examination.
