Abstract:
Foetal anomalies of the digestive tract are numerous and dominated by malformations, the prognosis of which may be severe. Antenatal diagnosis of these anomalies allows a better management of neonates. It is known since about 20 years, a major development because of the progress realized in the field of foetal imaging. Ultrasonography, which is the best imaging modality, can be joined by MRI if necessary. The objective of this study is to evaluate the contribution of imaging in prenatal diagnosis of digestive anomalies, throughout a review of literature.

Radionuclide Testing
Radionuclide testing is a sophisticated medical technique for assessing gastrointestinal motility. It focuses on gastric emptying and colonic transit time. Radioactive markers track the movement of food through the digestive system, providing insights into gastrointestinal disorders.
In gastric emptying studies, a meal's liquid and solid...

Fetal Circulation
Two umbilical arteries transport blood from the fetus to the placenta. At the placenta, the blood absorbs oxygen and nutrients while simultaneously eliminating waste products. This oxygen-enriched and nutrient-rich blood then returns to the fetus through one...
