Assessing the insufficiency of the placenta in late-stage pregnancy
Currently there is no optimal method to identify placental insufficiency that may put a fetus at risk and indicate the need for early delivery. Team Fetal aims to characterize the placental transport via magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for better detecting insufficient placenta.
