MRI scans could unlock secrets of problem pregnancies

This study aimed to test whether MRI scans could provide better information about how the placenta works during pregnancy, especially when a baby isn't growing properly. Researchers planned to compare MRI measurements of blood flow and structure in placentas from high-risk and low-risk pregnancies. The goal was to improve understanding of placental problems that can affect both immediate birth outcomes and long-term child health, but the study was withdrawn before any participants were enrolled.
