Non-invasive methods for estimating placental fractional blood volume (FBV) are of great interest for characterization of vascular perfusion in placentae during pregnancy to identify placental insufficiency that may be indicative of local ischemia or fetal growth restriction (FGR). Nanoparticle contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (CE-MRI) may enable direct placental FBV estimation and may provide a reliable, 3D alternative to assess maternal-side placental perfusion. In this pre-clinica ...[more]
