title: [Visualization of the guinea pig fetus in utero by x-ray densitometry].
abstract: The total body X-ray scanner (computer assisted axial tomography) was used to observe the guinea-pig fetus in utero. This new method of investigating obstetrical physiology provides a suitable animal model with quantitative facts about the density of the fetal organs and, using a non-invasive technique, allows precise intrauterine pictures of the anatomy of the fetus to be obtained.
