Fig. 10 Severe standing wave and conductivity artifact in 28-year-old
pregnant woman during fetal ultrahigh-field-strength MRI at 3.0 T. Coronal
HASTE image shows marked signal loss (long arrows). This
artifact is caused by large amount of amniotic fluid and increased size of
abdomen, which increase electrical conductivity in field of view. Short thin
arrows mark placenta; thick arrows mark fetal torso. (Courtesy of Jones B,
