OBJECTIVE
This study aims to investigate the length and shape of the nasal bones in fetuses with trisomy 21 at 16-24 weeks' gestation.
[] Key MethodMETHOD
We acquired three-dimensional volumes of the fetal profile from 41 fetuses with trisomy 21. The multiplanar mode was used to measure nasal bone length in the exact midsagittal plane and in parasagittal and oblique views of the fetal face and to examine the nasal bones in the coronal plane.
