Core Tip
Core Tip: Large-field-of-view magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a necessary problem-solving tool for rare extra-pelvic ectopic pregnancy (e.g., subhepatic) when transvaginal ultrasound is inconclusive in patients with Müllerian anomalies. MRI’s comprehensive anatomical coverage is crucial for early and accurate localization.
