In an effort to demonstrate the potential of nuclear magnetic resonance imaging (NMR) in the management of pregnancy, 15 patients in the first trimester and one in the third trimester of pregnancy have been investigated in the Aberdeen University NMR imager. Simple measurements of biparietal diameter and crown-rump length were made from both the NMR images and the ultrasound images on the same day, with good correlation between the two. The NMR data was displayed as inversion recovery, calculated T1, proton density and S1-S2 images. The proton density and S1-S2 images were found to be the most useful for the demonstration of the fetus and for discriminating between placenta and uterus. The calculated T1 data provided accurate quantification of the proton-spin lattice relaxation times of the different tissues, indicating that this measurement may be of use in the study of fetal brain development and placental function. The inversion recovery images showed poor tissue discrimination and were found to be of limited value. The unique information available using NMR and the non-invasive nature of the technique indicated that it should provide a useful method for the investigation of both fetal development and placental function in addition to making basic measurements of fetal size.
