Diffusion weighted imaging can be used as a marker of altered blood flow through the compromised placenta as the structure of villi is known to change. Probing the size of the intervillous space could provide a useful clinical marker of abnormal development. Here we investigate and demonstrate the effect of changing the encoding time of flow measurements through a porous media, and its ability to provide more information about villous structure.
