Figure 1b. Single-shot echo train spin-echo and steady-state gradient-echo imaging in a pregnant woman with clinical evidence of small-bowel obstruction. Arrow = fetus. (a) Coronal half-Fourier rapid acquisition with relaxation enhancement (RARE) image of the maternal abdomen shows fluid-filled loops of small intestine. (b) Coronal true fast imaging with steady-state precession (FISP) image clearly shows the dilated fluid-filled small intestine. The patient was admitted and treated conservatively.
