This is a rare and fascinating look at the skeleton of a fetus done by a computed x-ray study.
The mother and child were involved in an automobile accident. The pros and cons of providing a radiological dose were weighed before taking the shot, but finally the doctors determined that the radiation dose would be very minimal compared to the damage that the patients might suffer.
I don’t recall, and I cannot tell whether there are any fractures present. Can you?
From the look of the joint spaces of the mother’s sacroiliac joints and the pubic symphysis, you can tell that the hormone relaxin is having its effect. I wonder if the added relaxation of the ligament has caused there to be more trauma than there otherwise would be in the normally tightly-locked joints.
Of course, it is interesting to see the bones of the baby and how they are made up of cartilage at the ends while the calcium-matrix of the middle of the bone is formed and being formed.
