A Study of the Value of using Strain Magnitude Imaging to Assess Placental Micro Sliding

Overview

About this study

The purpose of this research is to optimize and evaluate the efficacy of strain magnitude imaging of the placental interface using ultrasound techniques for prediction of placental attachment abnormalities in pregnant women at risk.
