This is a small pilot study comparing a rapid method of MRI measurement of amniotic fluid volume with standard manual planimetric (MP) approaches. The rapid method uses projection hydrography (PH) to compare amniotic signal with a reference fluid volume. Comparison is made with ultrasound as a gold standard modality. Results show that PH shows strong correlation with MP, and they both show moderate correlation with ultrasound. Further development of this technique may prove useful in MRI assessment of the fetus.
