Fetal MRI findings of meconium peritonitis. a A coronal 3.0-T fat-suppression T2-weighted image (HASTE, TR = 15,000 ms, TE = 91 ms) reveals a moderate amount of ascites (a low-intensity signal) in the peritoneal cavity, compacted bowel loops (yellow arrow) and dilated bowels (white arrow) in a 30-week-old fetus with meconium peritonitis (MP). b A sagittal 1.5-T fetal T2-weighted image (TR = 15,000 ms, TE = 120 ms) shows mild ascites among bowel loops and a cyst (a 3.2 × 2.4 × 3.2 cm round foci with mix signal inside, white arrow) in a 24-week-old fetus with MP. c A transverse 3.0-T HASTE-FS image (TR = 15,000 ms, TE = 91 ms) indicates a high mount of ascites, gathered bowel loops (white arrow) and enlargement of the left scrotum (yellow arrow) in a 37-week-old fetus with MP. d A transverse 3.0-T fat-suppression T2-weighted image (HASTE, TR = 15,000 ms, TE = 91 ms) indicates gathered bowel loops (white arrow) and calcification spots (multiple small focuses or small nodules with low T2-weighted imaging signal, yellow arrow) in a 38-week-old fetus with MP
