[Abstract] The evaluation of placental function is essential to the understanding and diagnosis of pregnancy complications. In recent years, functional MRI is applied more and more in both animal models and clinical research in placenta, which could provide useful information on physiological functions of placenta, including vascularization, oxygenation, metabolism and diffusion within tissues. Functional MRI shows great research value and clinical applying foreground.
