Magnetic resonance imaging for evaluation of the fetus and the placenta
1Department of Radiology, University of Chicago Medical Center, Chicago, Illinois, USA.
Abstract:
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has become an important complementary imaging modality for evaluation of fetal and placental abnormalities over the past decade. MRI can function as a problem solver and help in patient counseling by confirming a suspected diagnosis, offering alternative diagnoses, and identifying additional abnormalities. This article addresses the use of MRI in the evaluation of the fetus and the placenta.

Description of the Procedures
Computed Tomography (CT) scan:
Computed Tomography (CT) scans use X-ray technology to generate detailed images of bones, organs, and tissues. During the scan, the patient lies on a moving table...
Radiological Investigation II: MRI and Ventilation Perfusion Scan
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Ventilation Perfusion Scans are two radiological investigations that offer detailed diagnostic images of the body, particularly lung structures.
MRI
MRI uses magnetic fields and radiofrequency signals to distinguish between normal and abnormal tissues. This technology provides a more detailed diagnostic image than CT scans, enabling it to characterize pulmonary nodules, stage bronchogenic carcinoma, and evaluate inflammatory activity in...
