The purpose of this study was to perform fetal cardiac
MRI using a newly developed Doppler ultrasound sensor (DUS)
for external fetal cardiac gating in a human fetus for
the first time. For the first time, cine cardiac MRI
could be performed in a human fetus using a newly
developed DUS device and dedicated software for fetal
cardiac triggering. Fetal cardiac functional parameters
revealed high agreement in comparison with standard
fetal echocardiography.
