Image-Based Modeling of Blood Flow and Oxygen Transfer in Feto-Placental Capillaries.

During pregnancy, oxygen diffuses from maternal to fetal blood through villous trees in the placenta. In this paper, we simulate blood flow and oxygen transfer in feto-placental capillaries by converting three-dimensional representations of villous and capillary surfaces, reconstructed from confocal...
