Abstract The Human Placenta Project has focused attention on the need for noninvasive
magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based techniques to diagnose and monitor placental …

Key points Human fetal Doppler ultrasound and invasive blood gas measurements obtained
by cordocentesis or at the time of delivery reveal similarities with sheep (an extensively used …

Purpose Renal metabolic rate of oxygen (rMRO2) is a potentially important biomarker of
kidney function. The key parameters for rMRO2 quantification include blood flow rate (BFR) …

During the early stages of diabetes, kidney oxygen utilization increases. The mismatch
between oxygen demand and supply contributes to tissue hypoxia, a key driver of chronic …

Quantitative BOLD (qBOLD), a non-invasive MRI method for assessment of hemodynamic
and metabolic properties of the brain in the baseline state, provides spatial maps of …

Purpose To ultimately make accurate and precise fetal noninvasive oxygen saturation (sO2)
measurements by T2‐prepared bSSFP more widely available by systematically assessing …

Purpose The purpose of this study was to estimate fetal O2 delivery rate in vivo across a
range of gestational ages. Toward this, a calibration equation for T2‐based oximetry was …

Purpose Venous cerebral blood volume (CBVv) is a major contributor to BOLD contrast, and
therefore is an important parameter for understanding the underlying mechanism. Here, we …

Introduction MR relaxometry has been used to assess placental exchange function, but
methods to date are not sufficiently fast to be robust to placental motion. Magnetic resonance …

Intrinsic cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) dynamics in the brain have been extensively studied,
particularly the egress sites of tagged intrinsic CSF in the meninges. Although spinal CSF …
