Abstract: This invention discloses an apparatus for measuring the weight of a fetus in utero including an ultrasonic imager providing at least one ultrasonic image, a volume determiner operative to employ the at least one ultrasonic image to provide volume information relating to at least part of the volume of the fetus in utero, and a weight determiner operative to employ said volume information relating to at least part of the volume of the fetus and density information relating to the at least part of the volume of the fetus for providing an output indication representing the weight of the fetus in utero. A method for measuring the weight of a fetus in is also disclosed.

Abstract: This invention discloses a system for providing an image of at least a portion of a fetus in utero including an imager providing image data for a volume including at least a portion of a fetus in utero, an at least partially computer controlled image processing algorithm based segmenter for defining geometrical boundaries of various objects in the volume including at least a portion of a fetus in utero, and a sculpting tool, utilizing the geometrical boundaries of at least some of the various objects defined by the segmenter, for selectably removing image data relating to at least portions of the objects in order to provide a desired non-occluded image of at least a portion of the fetus in utero based on the image data. A method for providing an image of at least a portion of a fetus in utero is also disclosed.
