Ian Donald

Ian Donald was a pioneering Scottish obstetrician who significantly advanced the use of ultrasound in medicine, particularly in obstetrics and gynecology. In the late 1950s, he developed techniques for using ultrasound to visualize the fetus inside the womb, improving prenatal care and diagnosis. His groundbreaking work laid the foundation for the widespread use of ultrasound technology, which allows doctors to monitor fetal development, detect potential issues, and guide medical decisions during pregnancy. Donald's contributions have had a lasting impact on maternal and fetal health, making ultrasounds a routine part of prenatal care today.
