Early brain development, from the embryonic period to infancy, is characterized by rapid
structural and functional changes. These changes can be studied using structural and …

Abnormal placentation is responsible for most failures in pregnancy; however, an
understanding of placental functions remains largely concealed from noninvasive, in vivo …

Fetal health is critically dependent on placental function, especially placental transport of
oxygen from mother to fetus. When fetal growth is compromised, placental insufficiency must …

Objective Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of placental invasion has been part of clinical
practice for many years. The possibility of being better able to assess placental …

Objectives Human pregnancies complicated by placental dysfunction may be characterized
by a high hyperoxic Blood oxygen level-dependent (BOLD) MRI response. The …

Purpose: To provide functional information on the human placenta, including perfusion, and
diffusion, with no contrast agent injection, and to study correlations between intravoxel …

Preeclampsia is a pregnancy-related hypertensive disorder accounting for 14% of global
maternal deaths annually. Preeclampsia—maternal hypertension and proteinuria—is …

Introduction Before using blood-oxygen-level-dependent magnetic resonance imaging
(BOLD MRI) during maternal hyperoxia as a method to detect individual placental …

The placenta performs a wide range of physiological functions; insufficiencies in these
functions may result in a variety of severe prenatal and postnatal syndromes with long-term …

Placental hypoxia poses significant risks to both the developing fetus and the mother during
pregnancy, underscoring the importance of early detection and monitoring. Effectively …
