Fig. 12. —Abruption in patient at 30 weeks' gestation with placenta previa, bleeding, and pain. Because pain clinically indicates abruption, MRI was performed to identify extent of retroplacental clot. Immediate delivery was planned if large abruption was found. Sagittal T1-weighted MR image (TR/TE, 137/4.1; flip angle, 80°; field of view, 32 cm; matrix, 128 x 256; and acquisition time, 17 sec) shows small clot (arrow) above internal os (arrowhead), with most of placenta (P) well attached. Finding allowed patient to be managed expectantly, with delivery delayed for more than 4 weeks. P = placenta. Reprinted with permission from [11].
