In this prospective study 2D PC-MRI angiography was performed in nine human fetuses (gestational age 32.2 ± 2.4 weeks) using a novel MR compatible DUS device for gating of the fetal heart at a 1.5T MR scanner. The novel MR compatible DUS device for fetal cardiac gating allowed successful application of PC-MRI angiography and quantification of hemodynamics in the fetal AoD. This new technique for direct gating of the fetal heart demonstrates the diagnostic potential of PC-MRI for the quantification of fetal hemodynamics.
