Ultrasonography

Obstetric indications for ultrasonography are well established
and include confirmation of viable pregnancy, assessment of
gestational age, localisation of the placenta, assessment of
amniotic fluid volume and monitoring of fetal growth.
Ultrasonography is an integral part of amniocentesis, chorionic
villus sampling and fetal blood sampling, and provides
evaluation of fetal anatomy during the second and third
trimesters.
