Was looking at my scan pictures and came across this one, was wondering what I'm looking at? I've circled and done a close up, I know babies foot is in mouth and that's about it lol

I see an upside down photo of a profile shot of baby. Not sure what is circled but if you can imagine a scan image is taking a shot of a slice. Imagine cutting a sausage in to thin slices and looking at one slice in cross section. So often a tiny bit of another body part, or umbilical cord, femur, foot etc..will make it on to that image but not in its entirety. Like a bit of gristle in a sausage if you get a tiny bit of it in the slice you're looking at but most of it sits in the next slice behind.....So it's just a bit of some body part basically and it could be anything. When the camera moves slightly it will get a different "slice" and whatever that bit is would become clearer. This is why watching the moving images of a scan is much clearer than a photo. Sorry for all the sausage analogy...
