In November 2010 the first video of a woman giving birth in an open MRI machine was taken at the Charité Hospital in Berlin, Germany. The team led by Christian Bamberg, M.D. first published the results as "Human birth observed in real-time open magnetic resonance imaging," in the American Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology in January 2012. Supplementary material, including an accelerated video of the final 45 minutes of labor, was published as Vol. 206, issue, pp. 505.e1-505e6, June 2012. This paper and the accelerated video remained available online when I checked in September 2020.
