Mapping Uterine Contractions During Labor with New Imaging Tool

Researchers have developed a super cool new way to map and visualize uterine contractions during labor! It’s kind of like making a 3D movie of your muscles in action. This non-invasive imaging technique, called electromyometrial imaging (EMMI), creates real-time images and maps of the contractions. By analyzing these unique images and metrics, scientists can better understand contraction patterns and how they might be related to preterm birth. This groundbreaking research provides a solid foundation for improving labor management and potentially identifying ways to prevent premature births. So, if you’re curious about how your body works during labor or want to learn more about this fascinating imaging tool, definitely check out the link below!
