Dynamic MRI of the placenta
Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: Great strides have been made recently in advanced placental imaging. The last decade has seen MRI transform our understanding of the placenta. Most early work was interested in snapshot imaging of structure or slow functional changes with gestation. Recent methods are now studying the dynamic in vivo placenta, analysing uterine contractility and modelling the flow properties of the tissue. These are exciting times for placental imaging as we improve our understanding of this enigmatic organ and move towards the development of personalized placental digital twins for the simulation of intervention and outcome.
