The window into the womb just got a little bigger.<\/p>\n

Ultrasounds have come a long way\u00a0over\u00a0the last few years, but now a new MRI scan is showing the world just how busy a baby inside the womb is. Using algorithms, radio waves, and magnetic fields, MRI machines are able to produce a remarkably clear image, showing babies wiggling, stretch, and even grabbbing onto the umbilical cord.<\/p>\n

According to The Daily Mail<\/a>, a team of medical researchers at Kings College in London, St Thomas’ Hospital, Imperial College London, University of Firenze, and the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto and Philips Healthcare\u00a0developed a\u00a0new MRI scan hoping to get more detailed images of preborn children, which can be difficult to get when they are being active. With this scan, doctors can see the organs and other body parts of the preborn child much more vividly. This allows them to\u00a0better diagnose a variety of in-utero\u00a0issues or treat certain conditions before the child is even born.<\/p>\n
