In this work we leverage a large dataset consisting of 535 fMRI sessions from 248 unique subjects to assess the data quality of fetal resting state functional MRI. Our main goal is to describe the quality of fetal resting state fMRI after image post-processing. We quantify how much motion is present, apply a range of motion censoring thresholds to show how much data remains post-censoring, and evaluate the temporal signal to noise ratio of the time-series pre and post motion correction. Our results show very low average tSNR (2.7-3.7) and high percentages (40-95%) of discarded data.
