MRI of a fetus with Pentalogy of Cantrell. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), without MRI contrast agents, is not associated with any risk for the mother or the fetus, and together with medical ultrasonography, it is the technique of choice for medical imaging in pregnancy. [1]
The concerns in pregnancy are the same as for MRI in general, but the fetus may be more sensitive to the effects—particularly to heating and to noise. The use of gadolinium-based contrast media in pregnancy is an off-label indication and may be administered only in the lowest dose required to provide essential diagnostic information. [51]

Upon analyzing the MRI scans, Jacobs and her team discovered the most noticeable changes to the study participant’s brain throughout her pregnancy was a reduction in cortical gray matter volume ...
During pregnancy, the enlarged abdomen and gravid uterus place additional strain on lumbar muscles and shift the pregnant woman's center of gravity. These postural compensations culminate in an increased load on both lumbar spinal musculature and the sacroiliac ligaments, manifesting as low back pain and/or pelvic girdle pain. [ 14 ]
High signal for paramagnetic substances, such as MRI contrast agents [2] Standard foundation and comparison for other sequences T2 weighted: T2: Measuring spin–spin relaxation by using long TR and TE times Higher signal for more water content [1] Low signal for fat in standard Spine Echo (SE), [1] though not with Fast Spin Echo/Turbo Spin ...
acute pancreatitis, where methemalbumin formed from digested blood tracks around the abdomen from the inflamed pancreas; bleeding from blunt abdominal trauma; bleeding from aortic rupture; bleeding from ruptured ectopic pregnancy; Importance of the sign is on a decline since better diagnostic modalities are now available.
[1] [2] May result from diaphragmatic or peridiaphragmatic lesions, renal calculi, splenic injury or ruptured ectopic pregnancy. [citation needed] Kehr's sign is a classic example of referred pain: irritation of the diaphragm is signaled by the phrenic nerve as pain in the area above the collarbone.
