Adequate oxygen transport across the placenta from
mother to fetus is critical for fetal growth and
development. Clinical assessment of placental
insufficiency relies on Doppler ultrasound. BOLD MRI can
detect oxygenation changes in the placenta and fetal
organs during maternal hyperoxygenation in healthy human
subjects. In addition maternal hyperoxygenation has
successfully differentiated rat intrauterine growth
restriction (IUGR) models from normal, indicating a
potential in detecting and monitoring human IUGR. In
this study, we have characterized for the first time
functionally different placental regions and fetal
response to maternal hyperoxygenation in an IUGR
pregnancy.
