First Trimester MR (10 weeks)

HIDE
PrevNext

0:00

This is an MRI of the pelvis in a patient

0:02

with a slightly more advanced first trimester

0:05

pregnancy, closer to 10 weeks' gestational age.

0:08

These are the axial T2-weighted images, again

0:11

at the level of the sacrum and iliac bones.

0:14

As we scroll inferiorly, we see

0:15

the mildly enlarged gravid uterus.

0:18

Again, this is T2 heterogeneous myometrium

0:22

and the T2 bright gestational sac.

0:25

We can see the fetus

0:27

within the amniotic sac.

0:29

We also begin to see very

0:31

early placenta here laterally.

0:33

On the sagittal T2-weighted image of the pelvis,

0:38

we get a really nice look at the early fetus.

0:42

This is the cranial portion of the fetus.

0:44

This is the caudal portion of the fetus.

0:46

And we can, in some images, see

0:49

a very early umbilical cord.

0:52

It's important to document

0:53

again on the sagittal images.

0:55

That the cervix is closed with only

0:57

minimal fluid in the cervical canal.

0:59

So this patient's internal os is closed.

1:01

This is the anterior and

1:03

posterior lip of the cervix.

1:05

This is a coronal T2

1:07

weighted image of the pelvis.

1:08

And again, we see the gravid uterus, early

1:11

placenta, myometrium, and gestational

1:14

sac filled with amniotic fluid.

1:16

We have more of a coronal

1:18

view of the fetus here.

1:20

And again, this is the cranial portion.

1:22

These are the early limbs,

1:24

early thorax and abdomen.

1:26

and the caudal portion of the embryo here.
