Although the central role of adequate blood flow and oxygen delivery is known, the lack of
optimized imaging modalities to study placental structure has impeded our understanding of …

The placenta is both the literal and metaphorical black box of pregnancy. Measurement of
the function of the placenta has the potential to enhance our understanding of this enigmatic …

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 …

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) assessment of fetal blood oxygen saturation (SO2) can
transform the clinical management of high‐risk pregnancies affected by fetal growth …

Key points Maternal supine sleep position in late pregnancy is associated with an increased
risk of stillbirth. Maternal supine position in late pregnancy reduces maternal cardiac output …

Purpose Studying placental development informs when development is abnormal. Most
placental MRI studies are cross‐sectional and do not study the extent of individual variability …

Introduction Specific placental pathologies that may impact fetal development, such as
vascular malperfusion, are diagnosed postpartum. We aimed to evaluate if placental …

Introduction Novel imaging measurements of placental development are difficult to validate
due to the invasive nature of gold-standard procedures. Animal studies have been important …

Abstract In 4D T2* placental MRI studies, motion correction is generally considered a
prerequisite for quantitative analysis. However, the existing approaches use only global …

Background The incidence of PAS disorders increased rapidly in recent years, and
introvoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) MRI has been applied in the assessment of placenta …
