Manufacturing Models of Fetal Malformations Built From 3-Dimensional Ultrasound, Magnetic Resonance Imaging, and Computed Tomography Scan Data

Technological innovations accompanying advances in medicine have given rise to the possibility of obtaining better-defined fetal images that assist in medical diagnosis and contribute toward genetic counseling offered to parents during the prenatal period. in this article, we show our innovative experience of diagnosing fetal malformations through correlating 3-dimensional ultrasonography, magnetic resonance imaging, and computed tomography, which are accurate techniques for fetal assessment, with a fetal image reconstruction technique to create physical fetal models.Fed Univ Rio de Janeiro UFRJ, Radiol Imaging Diagnost Clin CPDI, Rio de Janeiro, BrazilFed Univ Rio de Janeiro UFRJ, Dept Radiol, Rio de Janeiro, BrazilFed Univ São Paulo UNIFESP, Dept Obstet, BR-05303000 São Paulo, BrazilNatl Inst Technol, Rio de Janeiro, BrazilFed Univ São Paulo UNIFESP, Dept Obstet, BR-05303000 São Paulo, BrazilWeb of Scienc
