Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) provides useful three-dimensional (3D) information; however, there are some restrictions on its use during pregnancy due to safety concerns. In addition, fetal movements can create artifacts on MR images, as image quality depends on position of the fetus and placenta. In the past decade, 3D ultrasound imaging has been used in clinical practice to investigate the formation and volumetric size of critical anatomical structures of the fetus. However, current techniques rely mainly on analysis of sections of interest that do not integrate anatomical information concerning the shape of these structures.
