Morphometric brain measurement of prenatal ultrasound-induced rabbit fetus using Micro-Computed Tomography (Micro-CT)

Prenatal ultrasound is widely used and became an integral part of the clinical practice, particularly in obstetrics and gynecology. However, the advances in the capability of ultrasound equipment nowadays, trigger a greater image processing power, hence might as well increase the fetal exposure. Hen...
