[Abstract] Objective: Our study aimed to obtain the changes of oxygenation level and its distribution characteristics in normal placenta after hyper-oxygen inhalation. And to explore the effect of the placenta accreta on placental oxygenation function preliminarily.Materials and Methods: Total 25 cases of normal placenta and placental accreta were prospectively included in the study. Sixteen cases were confirmed for the normal placenta and 9 cases were placenta accreta by pathology/operation. All patients performed BOLD-MRI examination for 10 minutes. Pregnant women breathed room air during the first 3 minutes and oxygen for the last 7 minutes by mask. The region of interesting (ROI) was sketched by post-processing workstation of Siemens. The normal placenta was sketched the global placenta (Nor-p), the placenta-uteine side (Nor-u) and the placenta-uteine side (Nor-f) respectively in two planes well displayed. The implanted placenta sketched the global placenta (Imp-p) in well-displayed planes including the implanted site, and also the placenta-uterus side (Imp-u) and the placenta-fetal side(Imp-f) respectively. The renal parenchyma of pregnant women was sketched as Pre-r. The BOLD signal values increasing over time of each ROI were obtained and the signal increment percentage (△BOLD%) was calculated. The△BOLD%-time curves were drawn by SPSS 24.0 Compared the differences of △BOLD% in last 3 min of groups. Independent sample t test was used between the normal and implanted placenta, paired sample t test was used between the two sides of placenta.Results: After oxygen inhalation, the △BOLD%-time curve increased significantly during 4—7 min of each ROI except for Pre-r, then it leveled off. The △BOLD% in the last 3 min was obtained as the platform. The mean △BOLD% of Nor-f (16.25±1.3)% was higher than the Nor-u (12.89±1.2)%. The Imp-p (17.74±1.6)% was higher than Nor-p (14.38±1.2)%. And the △BOLD% of the Imp-f was higher than that of Imp-u, the △BOLD% of the Imp- f/u were higher than those of the Nor- f/u respectively. The t test showed that there were significance between control groups (P<0.01).Conclusions: BOLD-MRI can assess the physiological oxygenation status of the placenta and has a potential to detect changes in placental oxygenation semi-quantitatively. Moreover, implanted placenta lesions have no obvious damage to the oxygenation function of placental villi, which provides a certain basis for no clinical intervention of oxygen supply for cases of placenta accreta.
