Abstract
Imaging the placenta during its intrauterine development and maturation can be performed using various “non invasive” methods: femoral retrograde angiography, computer assisted x-ray tomography, radionuclide scintigraphy, ultrasonography, and magnetic resonance imaging. All can localize the placental site and, to a valuable degree, image the placental architecture in situ and in vitro post partum (Panigel, 1986b; Panigel et al., 1986a).
