Indications to perform fetal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can result from inadequate ultrasound assessment and/or intrinsic ultrasound disadvantages, compared to MRI, or can be associated with suspected malformative and/or acquired changes, and changes of extrafetal organs suspected or diagnosed by ultrasound. In addition, indications for fetal MRI can result from maternal or family history, and screening. MRI should be performed at the earliest time, an accurate diagnosis can be made, and, for special clinical questions, acutely or within 48 h. The highest MRI quality is required for fetal MRI. Absolute or relative contraindications should be considered before performing the MRI.
