## Abstract To determine if magnetic resonance (MR) imaging techniques can be used to examine sites of embryo implantation in intact rats, pregnant animals were imaged with gadopentetate dimeglumine‐enhanced MR imaging approximately 10 hours after initiation of implantation on day 5 of pregnancy. T

✦ Synopsis
Abstract
A new fluorescent technique is proposed for detecting implantation sites in the rat, based on the binding capacity of tetracycline. Both intraluminal (20 μg/kg) and intravenous (8.3 mg/kg) administrations of tetracycline permit the macroscopic visualization (under 366 nm of ultraviolet light) of implantation sites, since they show a lower flurescence (LFS) than the remaining endometrium (FS). Greater binding a tritiated tetracycline was observed in nonimplantation sites (176 to 56 × 10^3^ dpm/mg protein) than in implantation sites (P < 0.05).
