Gastrointestinal Activity and Water Absorptive Capacity of the Fetus

  • Chapter
Diagnosis and Treatment of Fetal Disorders

Abstract

Amniography as a radiologic method of studying the human fetus (rather than for its value in placental localization) has been carried out in the past generally by either non-radiologists or by cooperating adult radiologists. (Becker et al., 1940; Bishop, 1965; Idriss and Nikaiodoh, 1967; Kraubig, 1957; Lloyd and Clatworthy, 1958; McCain, 1963; Szendi, 1940; Windle et al., 1939).
