Abstract
Despite the increasing use of magnetic resonance (MR) for fetal imaging, few studies
have addressed the MR appearance of the normal placenta. The goal of this paper is
to describe the MR features and thickness of the normal placenta during the second
and early third trimester of gestation, based on a retrospective study comparing MR
with the reference standard of obstetric imaging, ultrasound.
