Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging appears to be increasing used for the
diagnosis of abnormalities in fetuses because of the absence of ionizing
radiation and superior contrast of soft tissues. However, the T1-weighted 3D MR
imaging for fetus remains very challenging due to the respiratory motion of the
mother and the movement of the fetus. In this study, we evaluated the
feasibility of a free-breathing 3D T1-weighted gradient-echo imaging with
radial data sampling for fetus imaging, and compared with a standard breath-hold
imaging with Cartesian k-space acquisition
