Overview
There are no MRI scan findings associated with Down syndrome. However, a MRI scan may be helpful in the diagnosis of complications of Down syndrome, which include congenital heart diseases such as atrial septal defect, atrioventricular septal defect, ventricular septal defect, and patent ductus arteriosus. MRI is an expensive diagnostic method and is an expensive method of diagnostic study and the presence of ferromagnetic foreign bodies and some cardiac pacemakers are not compatible with MRI.
