Fetal MRI findings of meconium peritonitis in two fetuses receiving surgery. a-b A 30-week-old fetus with MP. A transverse 1.5-T T2-weighted image (TR = 15,000 ms, TE = 120 ms) indicates a large amount of ascites and gathering bowel loops (a) and dilated bowels (b). C-D. A 35-week-old fetus with MP. A sagittal 1.5-T T2-weighted image (c, TR = 15,000 ms, TE = 120 ms) reveals a high amount of free ascites in the peritoneal cavity, gathering and distortion of poor filled small intestines, and significant swelling in the left scrotum. A coronal T1-weighted image (d, TR = 234 ms, TE = 4.6 ms) shows distal micro-colorectum (yellow arrow)
