: The imaging data used in this manuscript has been used in part previously in an earlier manuscript (Yadav et al [CitationRef removed]), which evaluated fetal blood oxygenation as a function of gestational age in a larger cohort. This manuscript, on the other hand, focuses on demonstrating the applicability of a novel technique in the human fetus for in vivo blood oximetry and compares the results with those obtained using the standard model-dependent method. We find that the results affirm the applicability of both methods for in vivo fetal blood susceptometry and oximetry.
