Abstract
n = 18), healthy placenta (+20%, n = 74), pathological placenta (+6.5%, n = 36), healthy fetuses (+13%, n = 53) and hypotrophic fetuses (+6.5%, n = 34). Importantly, the increase was significantly lower in pathological than healthy foeto-placental units (+6.5 vs. +20%, P < 0.001 and +6.5 vs. +13%, P < 0.001 for placenta and fetuses respectively). Conclusions: BOLD contrast MRI allowed assessing non-invasively placental and fetal oxygenation. This method provided to distinguish healthy from pathological foeto-placental units in a rat model of IUGR.
