With advanced MRI technology and experienced radiologists, we provide accurate and reliable imaging reports.
About MRI Placenta
MRI Placenta is an examination performed during pregnancy when additional information about the placenta is needed. In an MRI scan, detailed soft tissue images are obtained and can complement ultrasound findings in selected clinical situations. No ionizing radiation is generally involved in this examination, but it may be recommended by the treating obstetrician or specialist when clinically indicated.
What is MRI Placenta?
During the examination, the patient lies comfortably on the MRI table while images of the uterus, placenta, and surrounding pelvic structures are obtained. Multiple MRI sequences are performed to evaluate placental location, appearance, and its relationship with the uterine wall and adjacent structures. Contrast is generally not required for routine placental MRI unless specifically indicated by the treating specialist.
Common Reasons for MRI Placenta
- Detailed assessment of placental location
- Evaluation of suspected abnormal placental attachment
- Assessment of suspected placenta accreta spectrum
- Further evaluation when ultrasound findings are inconclusive
- Assessment of the relationship between the placenta and uterine wall
- Evaluation of suspected placental or uterine abnormalities
- Preoperative assessment in selected high-risk pregnancies
Conditions Evaluated
Placenta Accreta Spectrum
MRI can provide additional information about suspected abnormal placental attachment and its relationship with the uterine wall.
Placental Location
The examination can help assess the position and extent of the placenta within the uterus.
Placental Invasion
MRI may assist in evaluating the depth and extent of suspected placental invasion when clinically required.
Placental and Uterine Abnormalities
Detailed MRI images can help assess abnormalities involving the placenta, uterus, and surrounding pelvic structures.
Who Should Consider This Scan?
Your doctor may recommend an MRI Placenta if you have:
- Ultrasound findings suggesting abnormal placental attachment
- A placenta located in a position requiring further evaluation
- A previous uterine surgery or procedure with concern for placental attachment
- Findings that require additional imaging before delivery
- An inconclusive or limited ultrasound examination
- A high-risk pregnancy requiring detailed placental assessment
