Description

Do you want to volunteer to help better image the fetal cardiovascular system using MRI? We are one of a few sites in North America able to see your baby's heart beating using MRI. We specifically want to better diagnose babies suspected of having a heart abnormality. You will also be helping care for future babies with heart conditions and receive "one of a kind" MRI images of your baby. To do this, we are looking for healthy pregnant volunteers with no known significant health problems. The study visit involves a fetal MRI scan and compensation for your time is available
