Fetal MRI and US have comparable sensitivity for MSK anomalies. In selected cases, low-dose CT may provide additional information. Fetal MRI detected a larger number of non-MSK anomalies in other organ systems compared to US. Multimodality imaging combining all the information provided by MRI, US, and CT, if necessary, ultimately achieved a sensitivity of 89.2% (95% CI: 83.4% to 95.0%) for the diagnosis of musculoskeletal anomalies and 81.4% for additional anomalies in other organs and systems.
