A Study of a Processing Method of Ultrasound Images Obtained from Uterus and Placenta to Detect Possible Abnormalities

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 and evaluate the placenta condition.
