Abstract

Fetal cardiac magnetic resonance (MR) images of a living fetus, within a uterus of a parent of the fetus, can be generated by imaging the fetus within the uterus using a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system. Information indicative of fetal cardiac cycles can be derived from MR data obtained by an MRI system while imaging the fetus, the MR data including MR data for the center of k-space. The derived information may be used to differentiate the fetal cardiac cycles from other sources of noise in the MR data such as the parental cardiac cycles.
