Fetus nibbling its own cord

The fetus is seen nibbling the umbilical cord in this 3D ultrasound image courtesy of Dr. Arun Mahajan, Delhi, India.

A few moments later the cord falls away.

Some interesting sonographic images:

There is a whole load of ultrasound images added to my site at:
http://www.ultrasound-images.com/ The site has been pepped up with a new look and easy to use interface. I have added a search box on the home page to sift through the contents of the site. I wanted to add a slide show option for the images but found it problematic. As before, all images are free to view.
1) At the page: http://www.ultrasound-images.com/fetus-general.htm is a case of IUFD with Spalding’s sign. Many books these days simply don’t have images of this sign.
2) At http://www.ultrasound-images.com/early-pregnancy.htm , there is nice case of bicornuate uterus with a gestation sac in one cornu.
3) At http://www.ultrasound-images.com/fetal-brain.htm : I have added a rare image of Vein of Galen aneurysm.
4) At: http://www.ultrasound-images.com/fetal-heart.htm : there are new cases of fetal cardiac anomalies including AVSD and pericardial mass. I hope to add some nice fetal echo videos to this section, but need a little help to edit mpg videos. Can somebody help me?
There are plenty more pictures but, I’ll tell you later.

Announcing my new ultrasound images website:

Hi all,
After having observed the runaway success of my older site (the ultrasound gallery) at: http://drjoea.googlepages.com/ I have now shifted the action to my new 200 GB capacity site at:
http://www.ultrasound-images.com/ The main features of the new web site is:
1) plenty of byte space.. you can expect loads of free high resolution sonographic images here, plus ultrasound videos when I get them.
2) More bandwidth for web access.
3) Faster download times
I have added a couple of cases already. See:
a) http://www.ultrasound-images.com/fetal-brain.htm where I discuss a fetal anomaly, Dandy-Walker malformation.
b) http://www.ultrasound-images.com/musculoskeletal.htm where I have a case of Medial Cruciate ligament injury.
Dr.Joe Antony, MD.
