Obstetric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a diagnostic imaging technique that uses radiofrequency waves to evaluate detailed images of the fetus and/or placenta from the second trimester onwards, with no teratogenic effect on the fetus.
CONTRAINDICATIONS
Absolute contraindications for magnetic resonance imaging include:
*Pacemakers and heart valves not specifically designed for use in magnetic resonance imaging.
* Cardioversion defibrillators.
* Neurostimulators.
* Cochlear implants.
* Internal irrigation pumps.
Currently, there are pacemakers, brain clips, and heart valves that are magnetic, and they must be properly evaluated before exposure to magnets.
Most implants and orthopedic prostheses do not have ferromagnetic properties and are compatible with magnetic resonance imaging.
