Three-dimensional(3D) ultrasound is getting popular rapidly in obstetrics and gynecology, especially for fetal diagnosis. Three-dimensional ultrasound provide with not only various kinds of 3D images but also any arbitrary sections that cannot be obtained by conventional two-dimensional ultrasound. Fetal biometry can be performed easily and accurately on a 3-orthogonal-plane image by 3D ultrasound. Morphological abnormalities of the fetus and their severities, especially on the face, ears, extremities and skeleton, can be depicted clearly by 3D images. Realistic surface images of a normal fetus may work well on the parents-fetus bonding. Congenital uterine abnormalities are depicted easily and clearly on coronal sections of the uterus by transvaginal 3D ultrasound.

Studies on fetal forelimb movements by using a wrist actigraph in sheep.
The purpose of this study was to investigate whether an actigraph can be a tool for measuring fetal movements in sheep. Actiwatches were placed on a fetal forelimb and the maternal uterine wall in near-term pregnant sheep. No significant correlation was found between fetal and maternal activity counts for periods of 1 min. The patterns of fetal activity counts were characterized by ultradian rhythms, with bursts of activity every 20-30 min; however, there was no evidence of diurnal changes in fetal activity counts. The results suggest that fetal movements can be measured by using an actigraph in chronically prepared fetal sheep.
