Specifically for pregnancy, MRI can provide images of a developing baby's brain and monitor the health of the placenta. Novel functional Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques have been developed to study placental function. This involves a short MRI sequence of less than 10 minutes and can provide a quick assessment of placental health.
