Twin pregnancy placental imaging study
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study uses imaging to learn more about the placenta in twin pregnancies where twins share a placenta. It may help understand how to better care for mothers and babies in similar situations.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 45 years old
- You are pregnant with twins that share one placenta (called monochorionic twins)
- Your pregnancy is between 18 and 26 weeks
- You plan to deliver at Carilion Roanoke Memorial Hospital or Carilion New River Valley Medical Center
- Your twins do not have any known genetic problems or infections
- You can read and speak English

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 trial studies the placentas of identical (monochorionic) twin pregnancies to learn more about their structure and health. Participation involves donating the placenta after birth for analysis.
This study tests a special device that monitors the health of you and your twin babies during the final weeks of pregnancy. It aims to see how well the device works for twins.
This study tests a laser procedure that seals abnormal blood vessel connections in identical twins sharing one placenta (twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome). The goal is to improve outcomes by stopping unbalanced blood flow between the twins.
This is an observational study in pregnancies with identical twins who share the same placenta. It looks at uneven sharing of blood flow and how often it happens in different twin complications—without changing your treatment.
This study looks at whether a difference in blood flow measurements between the two babies (called the cerebroplacental ratio) at 16-20 weeks can help predict complications in twin pregnancies where the babies share a placenta. It may help doctors identify which twins need extra monitoring.
