Obstetrical Ultrasound and Imaging
Obstetrical ultrasound is a medical imaging technique used during pregnancy to visualize the developing fetus and monitor the health of both the mother and baby. It uses sound waves to create images in real-time, helping healthcare providers assess the baby's growth, organ development, and position. This imaging is crucial for detecting potential complications early on, such as genetic disorders or issues with the placenta. Maternal-fetal medicine specialists utilize these images to make informed decisions about care, ensuring a healthier pregnancy and delivery for both mother and child.
