MODEL RELEASED. Ultrasound in pregnancy. Pregnant woman receives an ultrasound scan of her abdomen to monitor foetal development. The operator moves a handheld transducer over the woman's skin,while a two-dimensional image of the foetus (in side view) can be seen on a screen. Ultrasound scanning is a diagnostic technique which uses high-frequency sound waves to detect body tissues of different density. It is often performed about 16-18 weeks into pregnancy,where it can detect gross foetal disorders,and helps to establish foetal size and healthy development and hence the expected delivery date. The technique is painless and safe | |
