Based on the clinically feasible dual-MRI images, our method enables the accurate spatial-temporal quantification of placenta compartment and fetal brain oxygenation across different gestational ages. This information will be essential in improving our knowledge of human placenta development and its relationship to normal and abnormal pregnancy. This article is protected by copyright.
