Imaging of conjoined twins requires the use of multiple modalities, in both the prenatal and postnatal setting. Prenatal imaging, including both ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging, benefits from an organized, worksheet-based approach, careful labelling of all images, and adoption of supplemental techniques.
