Placental MRI Study for Healthy Pregnancies
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This research study uses a special MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) to look at blood flow in the placenta during pregnancy. The goal is to learn more about how the placenta works and find new ways to check on the health of both mom and baby.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are pregnant with one baby (not twins, triplets, etc.)
- You are less than 24 weeks along in your pregnancy
- Your body mass index (BMI) before pregnancy was between 18.5 and 24.9, OR 30 or higher
- You do not have certain medical conditions like asthma on daily meds, autoimmune disorders, chronic high blood pressure, or diabetes before pregnancy
- You are not claustrophobic, do not smoke during pregnancy, and have no metal implants that prevent an MRI

This study uses advanced MRI pictures of the fetus (the baby) and placenta to better understand normal development and possible problems. You may qualify if you’re between 18 and 40 weeks pregnant and can have the MRI safely.
This study tests whether doing an MRI during a specific window of pregnancy is safe and useful. You may be able to join if you are 18 or older and your pregnancy is between 16 and 36 weeks.
This study looks at how the placenta works in healthy pregnancies and in pregnancies with conditions like pre-eclampsia, gestational diabetes, or fetal growth restriction. It may help find new ways to detect or treat these problems.
This study looks at how a mother's health and experiences during pregnancy may affect her baby's brain growth and early development. You and your baby would have special MRI brain scans, fill out some questionnaires, and then your child's development would be followed until they are 6 years old.
This study uses special imaging techniques to look at the placenta during pregnancy. It aims to learn more about normal pregnancies and those where the baby is growing more slowly than expected.
This study tests a new ultrasound system designed specifically for pregnancy imaging. Researchers want to make sure it works well and safely captures clear images of your baby during mid-pregnancy (weeks 18–28).
