Volumetric analysis of the fetal heart by ultrasound (US) in congenital heart disease is often difficult due to its complex anatomy and US-specific artifacts. We implemented the real-time cine sequence without ECG triggering and the post-processing technique (PhyZiodynamics), which enabled noise reduction and interpolation based on motion coherence. Fetal MRI using real-time cine imaging allowed for detailed functional assessment in both ventricles and showed acceptable levels of correlation with both the prenatal and postnatal US findings, suggesting that this technique is a promising diagnostic tool for functional assessment of congenital cardiovascular abnormalities.
