Authors' results and conclusions:
The results of foetal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) imaging, whether verifying presence or absence of abnormalities, or discovering new abnormalities not detected by ultrasound have shown to affect clinical decision making. At the time of preparing this prioritising summary it was advised that there is increasing interest in and acceptance of its prenatal use in clinical practice in Australia.
Authors' recommendations:
MRI for the detection of foetal abnormalities is currently being conducted in several centres in Victoria, with all outcome data to be collected. HealthPACT recommended that this technology be monitored to assess the Victorian results.
