Fetal MRI is a growing field but it is still far from
being a standard examination and setting up a protocol demands careful
optimization. Here we explore some factors to
consider when choosing an appropriate slice acquisition order
pattern to mitigate the effect of crosstalk between temporally consecutive
slices and the partial saturation from the excitation of the adjacent slice,
while taking moderate range of fetal motion into account.
