Summary

This study looked at whether a third-trimester ultrasound can accurately find bowel rotation issues in fetuses that raise the risk of a life-threatening twist (volvulus). Researchers compared ultrasound results with fetal MRI, the current best method. The study included 77 pregnant women and aimed to improve early detection of these problems.
