Imaging Advance May Soon Show Unborn Babies in 3D

Someday, a mother-to-be may be able to put on a virtual reality headset and get a clear, 360-degree look at her own fetus in the womb. Although 3D imaging of fetuses is already available to a great extent — and in fact there are portrait studios that offer it — the images that are obtained from current techniques are static, and still rather unclear. With the new virtual reality technique, the images of a fetus are clearer and can be rotated 360 degrees.
