Abstract
Fetal thoracic abnormalities are increasingly being detected using prenatal ultrasound. Prenatal magnetic resonance imaging is an important adjunct in evaluation of fetal chest lesions. It can help differentiate different masses and is most helpful in evaluation of large or atypical masses. It also is very important in planning in utero interventional procedures, delivery, and immediate postnatal surgery.Keywords
