Magnetic resonance imaging in obstetric diagnosis.

Abstract

Of 5 patients with abnormal pregnancies examined by ultrasound (US) and magnetic resonance imaging (MR), 3 had a malformed fetus, 1 had a molar pregnancy and 1 had an ovarian mass. Both maternal and fetal structures were clearly shown, although fetal motion may have resulted in image degradation in some cases. MR may be useful in obstetric diagnosis.
