Reference Ranges for Placental Perfusion Using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)PLACENTIMAGE
Reference Ranges for Placental Perfusion Using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)PLACENTIMAGE
To evaluate the feasibility of functional MRI method developed in an animal model and to construct normal reference ranges for in vivo placental perfusion using functional MRI. This will be based on imaging studies in patients undergoing termination of pregnancy (TOP) at 16 to 32 weeks' for fetal reason in a tertiary referral center.
Objective:
To evaluate the feasibility of functional MRI method developed in an animal model and to construct normal reference ranges for in vivo placental perfusion using functional MRI. This will be based on imaging studies in patients undergoing termination of pregnancy (TOP) at 16 to 32 weeks' for fetal reason in a tertiary referral center.
Method:
All patients undergoing TOP at 16 to 32 weeks will be offered to participate in this study.
120 patients will be included. 15 per group of weeks of gestation: 16+0-17+6 SA, 18+0-19+6 SA, 20+0-21+6 SA, 22+0-23+6 SA, 24+0-25+6 SA, 26+0-27+6 SA, 28+0-29+6 SA, 30+0-31+6 WG.
MRI will be performed in the same hospital, during hospital stay, within 45 minutes.
Two MRI sequences will be used to measure placental perfusion:
Duration of inclusion: 24 months.
Duration of patient participation: 45 minutes.
Expected results:
Adverse outcome measure:
Nausea, vomiting, lack of comfort and other adverse outcome.
