A retrospective segmentation analysis of placental volume by magnetic resonance imaging from first trimester to term gestation

ConclusionThis study provides normative placental volume by MRI from early first trimester to term gestation. Deviations in placental volume from normal might prove to be an imaging biomarker of adverse fetal health and neonatal outcome, and further studies are needed to more fully understand this metric. Assessment of placental volume should be considered in all routine fetal MRI examinations.
