3D MRI - Making It Harder to Deny That the Unborn Child Is a Human Being
First 3D MRI scans of unborn babies
A team led by Prof Mary Rutherford, a neonatal neuroradiologist at Hammersmith Hospital, is using the images to find out how foetus' brains develop in the womb.
This has been difficult to study before as unborn babies wiggle in the mother's tummy. MR scans require a person to be still as ordered slices are taken continuously through the body.
To solve this problem the team takes many many images, in various orientations, and uses a computer program to re-order them and form a 3D image.
