Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the use of functional MRI in pregnant women as a non-invasive diagnostic tool to detect placental insufficiency and differentiate healthy fetuses from the intra-uterine growth restricted ones. Functional MRI in pregnant women can detect a variation of the MRI signal (called BOLD effect) from the placenta and the fetus when the mother is breathing pure oxygen. This study aims hence to demonstrate the difference in the BOLD effect between normal feto-placental units and growth restricted ones.

Conditions

  • Intrauterine Growth Restriction

Interventions

OTHER

Bold sequence patients test

Develop the hyperventilation protocol (speed, duration ...) and the choice of type of mask oxygenation better tolerated by patients. Sequences beginning with a low oxygen flow (2L/mn) then progressively increasing to obtain the BOLD effect required

OTHER

Bold + ASL sequence

A first sequence BOLD+ASL will be launched in ambient air. The second sequence is repeated BOLD 5 minutes after power maternal hyperventilation. Sequences will focus on the fetus and placenta but will also include maternal liver to validate maternal hyperoxygenation.
