The diagnosis of potentially life-threatening vascular abnormalities in the fetus can be difficult with ultrasound alone. MRI is one of the few safe alternative imaging modalities in pregnancy; however to date it has been limited by unpredictable fetal and maternal motion during acquisition. We present six antenatal cases, four with important structural congenital heart disease, in which we employed a novel algorithm for motion-corrected slice-volume registration, producing a navigable 3D volume of the fetal thoracic vasculature. The anatomical findings in each case were then correlated to fetal echocardiographic findings, and finally displayed as interactive surface rendered models.
