Method and system for determining a volume of a placenta in utero. The placenta in utero may be modeled as having a convex-concave shape (e.g., like that of a portion of a spherical shell). Volume of the placenta may be determined based on the width (or height) and thickness of the placenta, or based on width, height and thickness of the placenta. Placenta size characteristics may be measured using imaging techniques, such as ultrasound. In one aspect of the invention, a volume of a placenta in utero may be compared to the volume of other placentas for similar gestational age, and a determination regarding whether the placenta volume poses a risk to fetal health may be made.

L'invention concerne un procédé et un système pour déterminer un volume d'un placenta in utero. Le placenta in utero peut être modélisé comme ayant une forme convexe-concave (par exemple, comme celle d'une partie d'une coquille sphérique). Un volume du placenta peut être déterminé sur la base de la largeur (ou la hauteur) et de l'épaisseur du placenta, ou sur la base de la largeur, de la hauteur et de l'épaisseur du placenta. Des caractéristiques de taille de placenta peuvent être mesurées à l'aide de techniques d'imagerie, telles que des ultrasons. Selon un aspect de l'invention, un volume d'un placenta in utero peut être comparé au volume d'autres placentas pour un âge gestationnel similaire, et une détermination peut être réalisée pour savoir si le volume de placenta constitue un risque pour la santé du fAEtus.
