Measurement of fetal liver, brain and placental volumes with echo–planar magnetic resonance imaging

Objective To quantify accurately in utero fetal liver, brain and placental volumes using echo planar imaging, and to assess whether the technique has the potential to enhance intrauterine fetal assessment.
