3D Animation and Models to Aid Management of Fetal CDH

The Role of 3D Images and Models to Aid Management of Cases of Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia Diagnosed in the Antenatal Period. Consecutive Patients Studied From Diagnosis to Post Operative Period.

We wish to use the images a mother would have done as part of her normal medical care and make both 3D animations and 3D models of the baby and it's CDH. This will both help the parents see what the problem is and also allow the surgeons, who will operate on the baby once it has been born, to see the size of the hole and what organs are in the wrong place.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Target Population: pregnancy women attending Jessop Wing Fetal medicine unit.
• Accessible population: Pregnant women attending Jessop Wing Fetal medicine unit. Whose fetus had a CDH and are referred to MRI.
• Study population: Pregnant women attending Jessop Wing Fetal medicine unit. Whose fetus had a CDH and are referred to MRI and agree to take part in the study.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Not able to give informed consent due to any reason including poor understanding of English
• Under 18 years of age.
• Unable to complete the fetal MRI process due to either metal implants or claustrophobia.
