Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

In this study is tested the validity of placental vascular indices obtained from placenta ultrasonographic sphere biopsy and entire placenta investigation.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Although, to this date, there have been a number of human placental studies that concerned the evaluation of placental 3 dimensional power Doppler vascularization with the use of VOCAL technique, but there was no one in which placental vasculature has been compared between the sonobiopsy and whole placental volume.

Allocation Method

NON_RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

A prospective cohort study was conducted among normal pregnant women recruited at 11 to 40 gestational weeks. Placental vascularization was evaluated using the 3-DPD-indices (vascularization-index (VI); flow-index (FI); vascularization-flow-index (VFI)) with the application of the sphere-technique or scanned from the entire placenta

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Normal placenta-entitle

The 3-DPD indices was measured in the entire placenta volume.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

3 dimensional ultrasound investigation

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Images that contributed to the determination of placental volume and 3-DPD indices were obtained at the time of visit. All 3-D scans ultrasound measurements were performed by a Voluson 730 Expert ultrasound machine equipped with a multifrequency probe (2-5 MHz) to acquire images. Each sample was examined using 3-D rendering mode, in which the colour and gray value information was processed and combined to supply 3-D image. For laterally located placentas, the investigator positioned the transducer on a slight lateral inclination to obtain proper images. Power Doppler window was placed over the placenta to map the vascular tree from basal to chorionic plates. The 3-D static volume box was placed over the entire placenta volume. The sweep angle was set at maximum 70°. Each image was recovered from the disk in succession for processing. During gestation, the investigator recorded one sample from each patient.

2 dimensional ultrasound investigation

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

The two-dimensional (2-D) transabdominal conventional study provided data about fetal position, biometry, body movements and fetal heart rate as well as placental localization. The factorial default setting 'Obstetrics' was applied in 2-D mode.

Normal placenta-sonobyopsy

The 3-DPD indices was measured at cord insertion in placenta by sonobiopsy

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL
