Remember that silly animation of the dancing baby that was whizzing around everyone’s e-mail a few years ago?

Well, this’ll top it and it’s actually real. It’s a 3-D ultrasound of a baby wiggling in the womb - pretty incredible stuff and certainly more detail than I saw in the grainy black-and-white images my ultrasound technician produced (and which two years later, are still stuck to our refrigerator door).

Josephine Marcotty on our sister blog Bodytalk writes about the husband-and-wife team radiologists at Harvard who wrote the book “Your Developing Baby.”
