- Abstract
This article discusses the use of three-dimensional ultrasound (3DUS) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to create physical models of fetuses using additive manufacturing (AM) technology. The study used images from 73 pregnant women, including cases of twins, and successfully generated physical models that resembled the postnatal appearance of aborted fetuses or newborns. The authors suggest that these technologies can improve our understanding of fetal anatomical characteristics and be used for educational purposes and to help parents visualize their unborn baby. The images obtained from 3DUS and MRI can be segmented and combined to construct 3D virtual and physical models.
