The Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Development’s Human Placenta Project is an effort to revolutionize our understanding of the human placenta and to enable the development of safe, noninvasive, real-time assessment of human placenta development and function across pregnancy.
Advancing Early Detection of Placenta Accreta Spectrum Disorders
This NICHD-funded team is testing new, safer imaging agents to detect placenta accreta early in pregnancy.
Using Wave Reflection Ultrasound To Assess Placental Function
NICHD-funded researchers are using wave reflection ultrasound to find early stages of placental disease.
Identifying High-Risk Pregnancies with Photoacoustic Imaging
Researchers funded by NICHD are studying noninvasive ways to measure placental oxygenation.
Leveraging New Imaging Tools to Monitor Placental Dysfunction
With NICHD funds, researchers are creating tools to observe placental problems during pregnancy.
