Background
-Congenital malformations include all the gross anomalies of a developing fetus due to genetic or acquired etiologies.
-Usually, all mothers are screened for Targeted Imaging for Fetal Anomalies (TIFFA) during the second trimester. Sonography is the primary and the investigation for the detection of fetal anomalies.-With the advancement of better resolution Sonography (US)software, 3D and 4D sonography has made US the first tool for fetal screening.-MRI, with the advancement of quick fast turbo spin sequences (SSTSE), has added value to sonography in detecting and risk assessment for fetal anomalies.-MRI is also a problem-solving tool in a sonographic diagnostic conundrum. (e.g.-sonographic echogenic lung for differentiating between type-c congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation and sequestrum or both mixed)
