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 …

Background Infants born preterm are at increased risk of neurological complications
resulting in significant morbidity and mortality. The exact mechanism and the impact of …

Purpose Placental function is key for successful human pregnancies. Perfusion may be a
sensitive marker for the in vivo assessment of placental function. Arterial spin labeling (ASL) …

Introduction Visual assessment of the placenta in antenatal magnetic resonance imaging is
important to confirm healthy appearances or to identify pathology complicating fetal anomaly …

Purpose To study placental function—both perfusion and an oxygenation surrogate ()—
simultaneously and quantitatively in‐vivo. Methods Fifteen pregnant women were scanned …

Advances in microstructural modelling are leading to growing requirements on diffusion MRI
acquisitions, namely sensitivity to smaller structures and better resolution of the geometric …

Background: T2* relaxometry has been identified as a non-invasive way to study the
placenta in-vivo with good potential to identify placental insufficiency. Typical interpretation …

Purpose Ultrafast single‐shot T2‐weighted images are common practice in fetal MR exams.
However, there is limited experience with fetal T1‐weighted acquisitions. This study aims at …

Purpose To investigate the potential of continuous radiofrequency (RF) shifting (SWEEP) as
a technique for creating densely sampled data while maintaining a stable signal state for …

Joseph 2011) with associated maternal complications of renal injury, hepatic injury, stroke,
haemorrhage and eclampsia as well as fetal complications including growth restriction and …
