Purpose A combined diffusion‐relaxometry MR acquisition and analysis pipeline for in vivo
human placenta, which allows for exploration of coupling between and apparent diffusion …

Purpose To assess which microstructural models best explain the diffusion‐weighted MRI
signal in the human placenta. Methods The placentas of nine healthy pregnant subjects …

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 …

The placenta enables the transfer of oxygen and nutrients to the growing fetus and is vital to
the lifelong health of both mother and child [1, 2]. It is highly vascular, contains large …

The placenta is essential for successful pregnancy outcome. Inadequate placenta
development leads to poor placental perfusion and placental insufficiency, responsible for …

Efficient exchange of oxygen and nutrients across the placenta is vital for a normally grown
fetus. When remodelling of maternal arteries does not occur in early pregnancy the result is …

The placenta is perfused by the fetus and mother, allowing oxygen and nutrients to be
transferred to the developing fetus. Histologically there is large variation in vascularity within …

Arterial spin labelling (ASL) is a powerful magnetic resonance imaging technique, which can
be used to noninvasively measure perfusion in the brain and other organs of the body …
