A major issue in studying fetal hypoxic ischemic injury
(HII); utero in humans and its identification is limited
and often the diagnosis is postponed till the post
neonatal period when the injury becomes evident in
neuroimaging. Hence, non-invasive imaging methods for
assessing hypoxic-ischemic brain injury in-utero are of
high clinical interest. Magnetic resonance (MR)
susceptibility weighted imaging (SWI), was used to
measure fetal blood oxygenation that helps in assessing
difference in fetal oxygen utilization between second
and third trimester.
