Seven fetuses images of whole body 3D-true fisp were
assessed for fetal organ development. Whole-body
3D-true-FISP images were segmented with semiautomated
method. The volume of the brain, lung, heart, liver and
kidneys were calculated. As a result, positive
correlations between the fetal organ volumes and the
gestational week were found. Whole-body 3D-FISP imaging
may reflect the volumetric development of the fetal
organs along with the gestational age.
