Perinatal magnetic resonance fetal lung volumetry and fetal lung‐to‐liver signal intensity ratio for predicting short outcome in isolated congenital diaphragmatic hernia and cystic adenomatoid malformation of the lung

Aim:  To evaluate the usefulness of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in predicting the risk of lethal pulmonary hypoplasia in fetuses.
