Obstetric ultrasound is a type of imaging technology used to evaluate the condition of the fetus and reproductive system during pregnancy. There are many different uses for obstetric ultrasound and sonography.
Reasons for receiving an obstetrical ultrasound include:
Obstetric ultrasound can also determine the gender of the fetus, typically around 11 - 13 weeks into the pregnancy. Some parents elect to avoid this information, instead wishing to be surprised upon the birth of the child.
As the name implies, ultrasound makes use of powerful sound waves. Utilizing a special tool known as a transducer, the physician or ultrasound technician transmits the waves directly through the skin.
Obstetric ultrasound is a completely non-invasive procedure. The ultrasound machine typically includes a viewing screen, in which both the technician and the parents of the child can view the fetus. Oftentimes, ultrasound photos are available on request.
The sound waves used during the procedure are delivered at a specific frequency, designed to cause no harm to the mother or fetus. The general process of an obstetric ultrasound is as follows:
Some technicians also make use of Doppler ultrasound and 3D ultrasound. Doppler ultrasound allows blood vessels to be more accurately tracked, while 3D ultrasound provides a more detailed image of the area.
Ultrasound is a fundamental part of any pregnancy. Request more information about obstetric ultrasound today: call (408) 946-9453 or contact us online.
