Although the 3D printed fetal model has become a popular trend for parents to commemorate their unborn children, the medical impact of being able to visualize the fetus in 3D has not been widely discussed. However, some experts now believe that the benefits of 3D modeling of the fetus are becoming more and more obvious.
For every parent, the moment when you first see the ultrasound is the moment to change your life and inspire people. However, after the end of the day, these parents had to study the growth of their unborn children through a little bit of indistinguishable images, and sometimes it was difficult to tell where the body was. Now, thanks to the new 3D scanning technology combined with ultrasound imaging and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), both parents and experts can view 3D images of the fetus through VR.
3D scanning technology is being developed in a clinic in Brazil that basically combines ultrasound and MRI techniques to scan the uterus and various parts of the fetus and then construct it into a full 3D model of the developing baby. In addition to allowing parents to visualize their fetus in 3D virtual reality, the technology can also allow doctors to look more closely at unborn children in order to detect any problems in their growth.
Traditional ultrasound
Co-author of the study, Dr. Heron Werner Jr., MD, of the Clinic deDiagnósticopor Imagem in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, said: "We believe that these images will bring a new experience to parents - documenting the growth of unborn children. 3D fetal model and virtual The combination of realistic immersion techniques can improve our understanding of anatomical features, for educational purposes, and as a way for parents to see unborn babies."
Researchers say this is the first time that ultrasound and MRI scanning techniques have been combined for this purpose, as the latter has traditionally been used only when ultrasound is unclear or for high quality images. Detailed 3D models captured through new methods can help doctors diagnose and predict problems that a baby may face after birth. For example, a doctor will be better able to determine if a child has an airway problem at birth (by observing whether the airway of the fetus is blocked) and can plan the surgery in advance.
The 3D model observed in the VR using the Oculus Rift headset integrates the baby's heartbeat. These features not only serve as a strong link between parents and their unborn children, but also help them see and understand any conditions or deformities that may affect their children. This may be the key to making better, more informed treatment decisions if needed.
“The Oculus Rift is really great,†Dr. Werner said. “It provides a clearer image of the fetus than the ultrasound and MRI images seen on traditional displays, and doctors can get an immersive experience of the clinical cases they are working on. The entire internal structure of the 3D fetus for better visualization and morphological information sharing."

So far, the new scanning method has only been tested in Dr. Werner's clinic in Brazil, where it successfully acquired internal abnormalities in the fetus. But now, due to technical demonstrations at the North American Radiology Annual Conference, it will soon be implemented globally.
Professor Simon Fishel, founder of Care Facility, the UK's largest birth organization, is excited about the new 3D scanning technology. He said: "Any chance to improve the accurate observation of the health of the fetus is very important, especially for the fetus that is now being successfully applied. Surgery techniques in the womb. In addition, for many people, there are great advantages in the early stages."
Although it is not clear whether this will be done as part of the scanning process, it is also possible to convert the 3D model into 3D printing, which can then be given as a souvenir to the parents.

Dried fruit products as the name implies, dried fruit products are pre-treated fruits after selection, washing and dehydration to the water content of 15 ~ 25% products. The volume of dried fruit is about 11 ~ 31% of that of Fresh Fruit, and the weight is about 10 ~ 25% of that of fresh fruit, so it can significantly save the cost of packaging, storage and transportation, and it is easy to eat and carry. Common dried fruits are raisins, red dates, dried mango, dried kiwi, dried strawberry and so on.
