Background The objective of this study was to characterize structural changes in the healthy
in vivo placenta by applying morphometric and textural analysis using magnetic resonance …

Purpose To investigate the ability of three‐dimensional (3D) MRI placental shape and
textural features to predict fetal growth restriction (FGR) and birth weight (BW) for both …

Introduction To characterize normative morphometric, textural and microstructural placental
development by applying advanced and quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (qMRI) …

Introduction Gross and microstructural changes in placental development can influence
placental function and adversely impact fetal growth and well-being; however, there is a …

Background Abnormalities of the placenta affect 5–7% of pregnancies. Because
disturbances in fetal growth are often preceded by dysfunction of the placenta or attenuation …

Placental insufficiency is a major cause of fetal growth restriction (FGR) and accumulating
evidence indicates several aspects of placental morphology are altered in this condition …

Introduction In-vivo measurements of placental structure and function have the potential to
improve prediction, diagnosis, and treatment planning for a wide range of pregnancy …

OBJECTIVES: Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) is a diagnostic challenge, since
ultrasound fetal biometry (UFB) provides only a 50% detection rate for IUGR. This may be …

Placental function plays a crucial role in fetal development, as it serves as the primary
interface for delivery of nutrients and oxygen from the mother to fetus. Magnetic resonance …

Purpose To investigate, visualize and quantify the physiology of the human placenta in
several dimensions‐functional, temporal over gestation, and spatial over the whole organ …
