VR technology subverts pregnant mothers to see their baby

For pregnant families and parents, they can't wait to see what their unborn babies are like. Now they have achieved their goals through virtual reality technology. A recent research group from Brazil has developed a method that combines 3D modeling, MRI scans, and ultrasound technology to reconstruct the maternal uterus environment, including the fetus, placenta, and umbilical cord.

In fact, this technology has been started by the team leader Dr. Heron Werner Jr. 10 years ago. Through ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging data, the fetus model was completed using 3D printing technology. The goal of the team is to check out the physical characteristics of the fetus in the womb, and to restore the main external features, such as the size of the skull and the internal structure of the respiratory tract. With this technique, researchers can restore the overall appearance of the fetus from 28 weeks onwards. At the same time, the team will also use virtual reality technology, coupled with ultrasound to detect fetal heartbeat, so that parents can use ordinary virtual reality headsets to observe the baby's appearance in the stomach.

"I think this technology can better evaluate the fetus," Werner said in an interview with Digital Trends. "And this method is more accurate than any other pregnancy test."

Werner said that his team recently started using the technology to look at fetal tumors before fetal birth surgery, while virtual reality allows doctors to examine tumours from another angle and assess whether surgery is necessary.

"This method can provide a basis for many research groups and advance detection of fetal tumors or external abnormalities in some special cases," said Werner.

At present, researchers have conducted a large number of clinical trials in Rio de Janeiro and will be presented at the annual North American Radiology Symposium next week. Werner said that more relevant research will be conducted in the future to improve the accuracy of virtual reality technology.
