Fig. 1C —Fetus at 33 weeks of gestation. Transverse MR images obtained
with true fast imaging with steady-state precession sequence and used for
fetal lung volume assessment show fetal lung differentiated from heart
(single asterisk) and herniated abdominal contents including fetal
liver (double asterisk). Region of interest follows lung
boundaries and does not include main vessels of pulmonary hila. Regions of
interest with lung planimetry are shown in B and D.
