Zusammenfassung:ABSTRACT Objective This study aimed to investigate the placental volume and three dimensional (3D) power Doppler vascularization in type I diabetic pregnancies during the first trimester Methods 3D‐power Doppler ultrasonography of the placenta was performed at 11 + 0–13 + 6 weeks in 32 pregnancies complicated by type I diabetes. Placental volume, vascularization index (VI), flow index (FI), and vascularization flow index (VFI) were calculated using a standardized setting. Results In nine pregnancies, a poor first trimester glycemic control was present as expressed by HbA1c levels ≥ 7%, whereas in the remaining 23 mothers, the HbA1c concentrations were
