Ian Donald (pioneer in obstetric ultrasound)

Ian Donald was a British physician and pioneer in medical imaging who revolutionized obstetrics by developing ultrasound technology for pregnancy. His work allowed doctors to visualize a developing fetus inside the womb non-invasively, improving diagnosis and management of pregnancies. This innovation provided invaluable insights into fetal health, growth, and abnormalities, significantly enhancing prenatal care and increasing safety for both mother and baby. Donald’s contributions laid the foundation for modern prenatal ultrasound, transforming obstetrics into a more precise and informative practice.
