Superb Microvascular Imaging (SMI; Canon Medical Systems, Tustin, CA) uses clutter suppression to extract flow signals at rapid frame rates, which provides high-resolution vessel-branching details without the need for contrast agents. The potential diagnostic benefits of SMI, as described in other areas of medicine, requires further exploration during pregnancy. In this pictorial essay, we demonstrate the complementary use of SMI compared to conventional Doppler ultrasound and how it may improve our ability to characterize placental microvascular patterns without the need for ultrasound contrast agents.
