Obstetric Sonography

Obstetric sonography, also known as prenatal ultrasound or pregnancy ultrasound, is a medical imaging technique that utilizes high-frequency sound waves to create images of the developing fetus and the reproductive organs of a pregnant woman. This technology plays a crucial role in prenatal care, allowing healthcare providers to monitor the progress of the pregnancy and assess the health and development of the fetus.
