Background . Currently, one of the topical issues of prenatal magnetic resonance imaging is accurate and timely diagnosis of pathological conditions of extrafetal structures of the fetus. In particular, the most acute problem is the need to improve the diagnostic accuracy of recognition and differentiation of placental adhesive-invasive pathology (PAIP). In the literature, there is no unified approach to the methodology and description of MRI examination of the placenta. Objective . To improve the diagnostic methods of the method of magnetic resonance imaging for the study of the placenta. Design and methods . A total of 293 MRI studies of the small pelvis of pregnant women aged 22 to 45 years (average — 35 years), in gestational age from 14 to 38 weeks (average 36 weeks) were performed and analyzed. Results . A clinical three-stage method of MRI of the placenta and an algorithm for systematized description of MRI of the placenta of pregnant women have been developed and implemented. Conclusion . The developed systematic approach to the study of the placenta will help improve the capabilities of the MRI method for examining the placenta in connection with the demand for accurate and correct interpretation of this organ in vivo.
