JMIR Formative Research | Demonstrating Fetal Head Moldability and Brain Compression
JMIR Publications published “Using Magnetic Resonance Imaging During Childbirth to Demonstrate Fetal Head Moldability and Brain Compression: Prospective Cohort Study“ in their journal JMIR Formative Research, which mentions that improvements in risk assessment and anticipatory interventions are constantly needed. The birthing process is difficult to assess using simple imaging technology because the maternal bony pelvis and fetal skeleton interfere with visualizing the soft tissues. Polygonal meshes for each part of the fetal body were used to study fetal head moldability and brain compression. In this case, observable brain shape deformation demonstrated that brain compression had occurred and was not necessarily well tolerated by the fetus.Read More →
