Capabilities
Ultrasound scanning since it's advent, has revolutionised the management of pregnancy by providing a safe window into the uterus, giving us valuable information about the growing fetus and the status of the pregnancy as it is ongoing. It also gives us valuable information about pregnancy complications thus minimising mortality and morbidity of both mother and child.
It is a device that uses the qualities of high frequency sound waves within a safe frequency range and is considered harmless in contrast to most other imaging devices that we have at our disposal today. It also gives us valuable real time functional information of the status of the fetus.
