Quantitative longitudinal T2* mapping for assessing placental function and association with adverse pregnancy outcomes across gestation. by Matthias C Schabel, Victoria H J Roberts, Karen J Gibbins, Monica Rincon, Jessica E Gaffney, Aaron D Streblow, Adam M Wright, Jamie O Lo, Byung Park, Christopher D Kroenke, Kathryn Szczotka, Nathan R Blue, Jessica M Page, Kathy Harvey, Michael W Varner, Robert M Silver, Antonio E Frias

“…Of the 316 pregnancies, 198 (62.6%) were UN, 70 (22.2%) PA, and 48 (15.2%) SA outcomes. We found that the evolution of placental T2* across gestation was well described by a sigmoid model, with T2* decreasing continuously from a high plateau level early in gestation, through an inflection point around 30 weeks, and finally approaching a second, lower plateau in late gestation. …”
