Fetal MRI is a method to help obtain very detailed images to help doctors diagnose fetal abnormalities before the baby is born. In general, compared to ultrasound, this paraclinical method is less popular; however, the value it brings is extremely great, especially in cases of high-risk pregnancies, pregnant women with factors suspected of fetal malformations.

Several factors can make a pregnancy high-risk, including the mother's current health, age, and lifestyle, as well as problems that occur before or during pregnancy. However, the specific risks that affect each pregnancy are different.
