We excluded any with an indication for antenatal testing or delivery before 39\u2009weeks. Each participant underwent two ultrasounds by different examiners, which included arterial and venous velocimetry at three cord sites (fetal, free loop, and placental) in addition to maternal and fetal placental arterioles. The interobserver reliability was quantified using the Pearson correlation coefficient with that of standard clinical parameters serving as a benchmark for interpretation.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Among 53 participants scanned at 35<jats:sup>6\/7<\/jats:sup>\u201337<jats:sup>1\/7<\/jats:sup> weeks, the mean examination duration was 20.5\u2009\u00b1\u20094.2\u2009minutes. Ascertainment success was high for measures at the free loop, placental cord insertion, and fetal placental arterioles (range 90.6%\u201399.1%) and was lower at the fetal cord insertion and maternal spiral arterioles (range 47.2%\u201387.7%). Interobserver reliability estimates for free\u2010loop systolic\/diastolic and pulsatility index ranged from 0.38 to 0.44.
