Using 3D models to help manage congenital diaphragmatic hernia in fetuses

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to create 3D animations and models of fetuses diagnosed with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) using routine medical imaging. By visualizing the size of the defect and the positioning of organs, the study seeks to enhance understanding for both parents and surgical teams. The approach leverages existing MRI scans to provide detailed insights without any additional interventions. This method could improve preoperative planning and parental education regarding the condition.
