4D flow measurements were performed with PC-VIPR in rhesus macaque monkeys undergoing healthy pregnancies to determine the feasibility of flow measurements in the fetal vasculature and umbilical cord. Flow measures appeared to be viable for the larger fetal vessels (aorta and IVC), but more variable in smaller vessels with slower flow (umbilical vessels). Image quality improved for later gestational ages as a result of increased vessel area.
