Doppler Ultrasound (US) is the standard clinical tools used for evaluating fetal vessels. However, the efficacy of these techniques is operator dependent and may be difficult in certain cases. On the other hand, MRI is ideally suited for vascular imaging. Fetal vascular imaging is limited not only by the imaging resolution but also by motion artifacts. In this study we evaluated the feasibility of acquiring non-contrast enhanced magnetic resonance angiographic (MRA) in the human fetus and further, simulated a compressed sensing CS sampling scheme to evaluate the potential utility of CS reconstruction in fetal MR angiography.
