First seen Mar 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 23, 2026 · Updated 17 times
Summary
This study is testing two new ultrasound techniques to see if they can tell the difference between healthy pregnancies and those affected by fetal growth restriction (FGR), where the baby is smaller than expected. Researchers will scan 60 pregnant women every three weeks using a special research ultrasound machine. The goal is to find out if these methods can detect early signs of placental insufficiency, which can lead to serious complications like preeclampsia or stillbirth.
