Nuclear magnetic resonance imaging of a patient with an ectopic pregnancy.
We attempted to demonstrate the morphological changes of an extrauterine pregnancy by nuclear magnetic resonance imaging. Spin echo mode was used to take images in all three space directions. An enlargement of the uterus with an empty cavity and a hyperplasia of the supporting vasculature were demonstrated as alterations correlating with an extrauterine pregnancy.
