Obstetric ultrasonography is the use of medical ultrasonography in pregnancy, in which sound waves are used to create real-time visual images of the developing embryo or fetus in its mother's uterus (womb). The procedure is a standard part of prenatal care in many countries, as it can provide a variety of information about the health of the mother, the timing and progress of the pregnancy, and the health and development of the embryo or fetus.
Doppler sonography or foetal Doppler ultrasound is a technique that is used to measure the flow of blood through the umbilical cord. It checks if the flow to all the parts of the body, including your baby’s brain and heart, is normal. This shows whether the baby is getting all the required nutrients and oxygen or not.
Infertility ultrasound plays a large role in the assessment and management of women who are having difficulty conceiving. It is important for patients to understand ultrasound as they proceed with their care.
