  • Types of ultrasound:
    • Transabdominal longitudinal
    • Transabdominal transverse
    • Transvaginal

Indications for Obstetrical Scan

  • Confirm pregnancy
  • Evaluate suspected ectopic pregnancy
  • Define the cause of vaginal bleeding
  • Evaluate pelvic/abdominal pain
  • Determine gestational age
  • Diagnose multiple pregnancy
  • Confirm viability/cardiac activity
  • Guide a prenatal diagnosis procedure
  • Discover or assess fetal abnormality
  • Measure:
    • Nuchal translucency
    • Cervical length
    • Fetal biometry
  • Many others, especially in the second and third trimesters

Importance of Report

  • Not specified in the text, but generally, a report is necessary for documenting and communicating the results of the ultrasound to healthcare professionals and the patient.
