prenatal ultrasonography

Prenatal ultrasonography, commonly called an ultrasound, is a safe imaging technique used during pregnancy to view the developing baby inside the womb. It uses high-frequency sound waves that bounce off tissues and are converted into real-time images on a screen. This helps healthcare providers check the baby's growth, detect any structural issues, determine the due date, and monitor the overall health of the pregnancy. Ultrasound is non-invasive, painless, and provides valuable information without exposing the mother or baby to radiation. It is a routine, essential tool for ensuring a healthy pregnancy and planning for delivery.
