Abstract

We assessed ten prenatal magnetic resonance imaging(MRI) scans for fetal brain anomalies, and identified eight that were suitable for post-processing. Anatomical abnormalities were assessed on three-dimensional (3D) models and compared with two-dimensional (2D) imaging. We calculated the volumes of the intracranial ventricles and of a periventricular haemorrhage. In three cases, additional clinical information was obtained. 3D modelling of the brain in-utero is possible and can be used to plan treatment.
