32-week-old fetus model.
Prospective fathers and expectant mothers must use ultrasonic waves to see what the baby in the uterus looks like. A doctoral student at the Royal College of Art used ultrasound and other advanced technologies to make the appearance of the fetus exactly the same as the actual size. As the fetus grows, the model “grows†along with it, so that the baby's growth process can be truly documented, and at the same time, the mother and father can see how the baby grows.
José Lopez, a Brazilian doctoral student at the Royal Academy of Arts, pioneered the perfect combination of medical technology and artistic creation. The image of the embryo in the uterus displayed by ultrasound or nuclear magnetic resonance was rapidly imaged to form a 3D image, and then the image was Make a plastic model. Thus, the appearance of the embryo still in the mother's uterus is truly presented to the people. This is the first time that an unborn embryo has been truly demonstrated through ultrasound.
Lopez said with excitement: "When I showed my baby's model to mothers, their facial expressions were all surprising. They first saw their children so completely, and they were The size of the embryo is exactly the same.†“Now I'm not sure whether this should be viewed from a scientific perspective or an art perspective.â€
Lopez's mentor, Professor Campbell of the University of Kings, praised the invention as "quite unique" and "an unprecedented advancement." Professor Campbell has been devoted to ultrasound research in the field of reproduction since the 1980s. He hopes that Lopez's invention will help the blind mother understand what her dream is.
It is reported that Lopez's invention and a series of embryo models will be displayed on the 29th in London, UK. Currently, this technology is being clinically tested in a clinic in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
