fetal imaging

Fetal imaging involves techniques that allow doctors to visualize and assess a developing baby inside the womb. Common methods include ultrasound, which uses sound waves to create real-time pictures of the fetus’s position, movements, and anatomy; and MRI, which uses magnetic fields and radio waves for detailed images, especially of soft tissues. These imaging methods help monitor fetal growth, detect abnormalities, and ensure the health of both mother and baby. They are safe, non-invasive procedures that provide crucial information throughout pregnancy.
