Summary

The goal of Advanced Fetal Imaging - Phase II is to advance fetal MRI imaging by designing MRI coils specifically for pregnant women and testing recently developed MRI image acquisition techniques. The investigators aim to more reliably obtain higher quality fetal MRI images when compared to current clinical fetal MRI.

Conditions

  • Pregnancy

Interventions

DEVICE

Investigational MRI coil designed for pregnant women

The investigational MRI receiver coil designed specifically for pregnant women will be used during the 60 minute full research MRI scan. An MRI receiver coil is part of the MRI machine that is placed over the body part being imaged during every MRI scan. A coil is required to obtain MR images, yet there isn't one designed for pregnant women. This investigational MRI receiver coil for pregnant women will be tested to see if it helps improve image quality and take images faster.

PROCEDURE

MRI Scan

All participants will participate in an MRI scan. The add-on MRI scan will be 15 minutes. The full MRI scan will be 60 minutes.
