Ultrasound imaging allows an inside view of soft tissues and body;
cavities without the use of invasive techniques. Ultrasound is often used to examine a fetus during pregnancy. There is no evidence that any danger occurs from ultrasound during pregnancy.

Types of ultrasound during pregnancy:-

a)Viability Ultrasound;
b) NT scan or level one
C) Anomly scan;
d); Bpp scan

#Viability scan:-
Done during early pregnancy
;b/w Seventh - ninth week of pregnancy
Purpose:-

2)Determine the baby's gestational age and corresponding due date
3)Determine single or multiple pregnancy
4)Confirm location in the uterus if there are symptoms of ectopic pregnancy

#Nt scan;

between 11 weeks and 14 weeks of pregnancy;

In the first trimester of pregnancy

Biophysical Profile (BPP)
Done during last trimester
What is a biophysical profile (BPP)?
May done in; 32-34 week or earlier....
A biophysical profile (BPP) is a test that combines a nonstress test with ultrasound to check the health of the fetus. A nonstress test (NST) measures the fetal heart rate in response to the movements of the fetus.
There are five parts to a biophysical profile:
