[Abstract] MRI is an advanced technique for noninvasive functional assessment of the fetus, and has resulted in a relatively well-established clinical examination protocol that can provide anatomical and functional information of normal fetus and disease. At present, high-performance large pore MRI is a new trend in the development of clinical MR, which is able to provide "first-class" unprecedented spacious space and comfortable experience for the tested subjects and benefit special populations such as pregnant women, thus it has good research potential and clinical application prospects. This review regulates the selection, safety, applicability, scanning protocol and diagnostic report writing, and imaging quality control of fetal macropore MRI, aiming to unify the promotion of macropore MRI technology and promote its optimization, validation, and summary.
