Twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) complicates 10% of monochorionic twin pregnancies and it is consequence of an unbalanced exchange blood through the vascular anastomoses at placental surface. If not treated, mortality rates in TTTS may be as high as 80-100%. Laser photocoagulation of the placental anastomoses is the first treatment option; however, in some situations, the damage of the placenta in the postpartum may become difficult the residual anastomoses identification. We propose a new non-invasive technique to assess the residual anastomoses using computed tomography (CT) scan data to generate a three-dimensional (3D) virtual placentoscopy.
双胎输血综合征（TTTS）在10%的单绒毛膜双胎妊娠中出现并发症，它是通过胎盘表面血管吻合处进行的不平衡血液交换的结果。如果不进行治疗，TTTS的死亡率可能高达80%-100%。胎盘吻合处的激光光凝是首选治疗方法；然而，在某些情况下，产后胎盘的损伤可能会使识别残留的吻合处变得困难。我们提出一种新的非侵入性技术，利用计算机断层扫描（CT）扫描数据来评估残留的吻合处，以生成三维（3D）虚拟胎盘镜检查。
