Abstract

Three-dimensional ultrasonography provides a novel means of visualizing fetal fingers and toes. Our observations suggest that three-dimensional ultrasonography may enhance the diagnostic potential of two-dimensional ultrasonography and might be useful in identifying fetal malformations and anatomical markers of chromosomal abnormalities prenatally in high-risk pregnancies.
