Adequate maternal blood supply is an important factor to maintain placental health, and placenta vascular markers may be predictive of pregnancy outcomes. Here, we report longitudinal quantitative results of maternal fractional, regional, and total blood volume measurements in rhesus macaque placenta across gestation ages using Ferumoxytol-enhanced variable flip angle (VFA)-T1 mapping. We observe regional heterogeneity in fractional blood volume and increased maternal placental blood volume throughout pregnancy.
