Evaluation of a Portable Doppler Ultrasound Gating Device for Fetal Cardiac MR Imaging: Initial Results at 1.5T and 3T

Abstract

An MR conditional DUS gating device was developed and evaluated revealing safety, compatibility, and reliability for different field strengths. In a preliminary experience, the DUS device was successfully applied for in vivo fetal cardiac imaging at 1.5T and 3T.
