Currently 28 weeks pregnant, do I need to do a fetal MRI?

Patient's question:

Currently at 28 weeks pregnant, during the previous 4D ultrasound, the left lateral ventricle of the fetus was found to be widened by 13mm. Later, I underwent non-invasive DNA testing, which resulted in a low-risk outcome. Now, I want to have an ultrasound to re-examine the baby's left lateral ventricle condition, but the baby's position is too low, making it difficult to visualize. Both local hospitals have recommended that I undergo fetal magnetic resonance imaging.

Doctor's answer:

According to the situation you described, it is generally normal for one side of the fetal ventricle to be no more than 1.0 cm during pregnancy. In your case, it is recommended to undergo a detailed ultrasound examination and consider further tests, such as an MRI. The above advice is for the question "Do I need a fetal MRI at 28 weeks of pregnancy?" and is hoped to be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
