Introduction The development of placenta and fetal brain are intricately linked. Placental
insufficiency is related to poor neonatal outcomes with impacts on neurodevelopment. This …

Fetal growth restriction (FGR) is a major cause of stillbirth and poor neurodevelopmental
outcomes. The early prediction may be important to establish treatment options and improve …

Automatic segmentation of the placenta in fetal ultrasound (US) is challenging due to the (i)
high diversity of placenta appearance,(ii) the restricted quality in US resulting in highly …

Introduction Placental magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) may be a valuable tool in the
prediction of small for gestational age (SGA) at birth. MRI provides reliable estimates of …

Objective Opioid use in pregnant women is a growing public health concern and is shown to
be associated with lower infant birth weights. Placental volume changes in prior studies …

The placenta plays a crucial role in fetal development. Automated 3D placenta segmentation
from fetal EPI MRI holds promise for advancing prenatal care. This paper proposes an …

Objective: Pregnenolone is the only steroid derived directly from cholesterol and is the first
and requisite reaction in placental steroidogenesis. A better understanding of pregnenolone …
