      You can use other techniques to image a baby, such as an MRI scan (very high detail 3d image)

      I think you only use foetal MRI scans if there is a severe developmental abnormality of the baby seen on the ultrasound scan. You can get 4d ultrasound scans which give you really high definition.

      I think some pictures have been taken by inserting really tiny cameras inside the womb
