About the Collection

BMC Medical Imaging is calling for submissions to our Collection on Medical imaging for fetal diseases. The standard approach for detecting fetal abnormalities and maternal diseases in pregnancy has been based on ultrasound.

This article collection welcomes studies that describe the development, improvement, or novel application of imaging procedures for fetal diagnosis and therapy, as well as clinical studies assessing their diagnostic quality.
