The purpose of this research study is to develop imaging methods to diagnose placental injury
in pregnancies diagnosed with fetal growth restriction (FGR). Investigators are doing this
research because the use of IV iron, followed by a Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), may help
detect injury in the placenta. The IV iron, ferumoxytol, is an iron preparation used for
treatment of iron deficiency anemia. It is given in hospital setting under close medical
attention. Ferumoxytol(FE) is FDA approved for some uses, but in pregnant women, its use as a
MRI contrast is investigational.
