Determination of Anatomical Levels in Spina Bifida Fetuses with  Ultrasound and MRI.

CONCLUSION:  Reliable exact prenatal level determination by US and MRI is not possible. However, the prenatal determination of the anatomical level of the lesion is good within one level margin of error. Prenatal US as well as MRI demonstrate a systematic error towards higher levels. The above considerations must be integrated into prenatal counselling.
