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.
