The examination identified severe fetal abnormalities, including bilateral hydronephrosis and hydrocephalus, providing critical diagnostic information that supported multidisciplinary clinical decision-making and patient counselling.

· Maintained excellent MRI safety standards by identifying an undisclosed cardiac pacemaker during pre-scan screening, preventing a potentially unsafe examination through prompt escalation and adherence to MRI safety protocols.

· Successfully supported completion of MRI examinations in anxious and claustrophobic patients by adapting communication techniques, providing reassurance and working collaboratively with clinicians to facilitate safe imaging when sedation was required.
