High volume, low resistance placental blood flow (f) is essential for optimal nutrient exchange. Aberrant placental blood flow is associated with conditions such as maternal diabetes, often resulting in areas with abnormal vascular development. This study is the first report of measurements of IVIM in the chorionic plate. The results show no change in f with gestational age, (consistent with previous results in basal plate and placenta). No significant changes were found in diabetes.
