title: Fetal CT.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Fetal CT is helpful in the diagnosis of bony anomalies, particularly with 3D reconstructions.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Because of the potential risks of irradiation, CT should not be performed before 32 weeks' gestation and should be restricted to a carefully selected group of patients.
