In conclusion, we demonstrated increased placental stiffness in both the PE and the FGR group. Also, this difference was found to be more prominent in preeclampsia. This technique seems useful for assessment of placental function and may strengthen the utility of Doppler parameters for predicting adverse perinatal outcomes in high-risk pregnancies.
