Pregnant female, 27 years old. The patient has hypertension with pregnancy on Aldomet. No history of preeclampsia. Her obstetric code was G4P1 + 2. Gestational age: 25 weeks + 5 days. a Doppler examination of both uterine and umbilical arteries showed normal RI of the examined arteries, a normal wave of the uterine artery, and no notch. b Placental volume measurement by 3D ultrasound (503.84 cm3). c From right to left, (i) axial T2-weighted image, (ii) sagittal DWI at b 850, and (iii) ADC map that showed average placenta thickness and normal homogenous pattern. ADC value equals 1.87 × 10–3 mm2/s. d Placental volume measurement by MRI (607.74 cm3). Comments: The patient had gestational hypertension but 3D ultrasound and MR showed features of a normal placenta. MRI was more accurate in the assessment of the placental volume. She had a cesarean section with normal averaged weight fetus
