Role of Placental Vascularization Indices and Shear Wave Elastography in Fetal Growth Restriction

ConclusionThis study demonstrates that increased placental stiffness and reduced vascularisation in FGR indicate possible placental pathology. Both modalities help in predicting perinatal complications. Hence, vascularisation indices and SWE reflect the extent of placental insufficiency and can be useful adjuncts in diagnosis.
