The placental vascular network is organized to effectively mediate exchange of nutrients, oxygen, and waste between mother and fetus. We report on the estimated number of placental functional domains in a healthy population of rhesus macaques using ferumoxytol DCE MRI. Noninvasive imaging of the maternal vasculature organization and localized perfusion within the placenta may be a sensitive biomarker to predict pregnancy complications.
