More than any other diagnostic tool, the introduction of ultrasound has been most effective and revolutionary in the field of obstetrics and gynecology. Ever since its first use in 1958, it has become widely accepted as an essential diagnostic tool in medicine. With over 43 years of clinical use, it has proven to be very safe in its use of low-frequency sound waves. Some indications for ultrasound use in obstetrics are as follows.
