Fetal body and placenta MRI

Unlike fetal brain, fetal body and placenta can stretch and bend and the classical motion correction algorithms for fetal brain MRI don't work very well. Deformable Slice to Volume Reconstruction (DSVR) is an extenstionof the ridif motion correction framework that is able to correct deformable motion, resulting in beautiful reconstructions of fetal body and placenta.
