Three-dimensional magnetic resonance imaging of fetal head molding and brain shape changes during the second stage of labor.

Three-dimensional magnetic resonance imaging of fetal head molding and brain shape changes during the second stage of labor.

To demonstrate and describe fetal head molding and brain shape changes during delivery, we used three-dimensional (3D) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and 3D finite element mesh reconstructions to compare the fetal head between prelabor and the second stage of labor. A total of 27 pregnant women we...
