Detailed ultrasound during pregnancy
Performing a detailed ultrasound during pregnancy is currently one of the best ways to evaluate a developing foetus using the medical technology available. Ultrasound uses harmless sound waves and with its ever-evolving technology, it is a method of examination that can provide us with valuable information about the baby. In a detailed ultrasound, there are two main factors to consider. The first is the use of current ultrasound technology, as this can increase the preciseness of the examination. The second factor is the experience of the person performing the ultrasound examination. Currently, ultrasound examination relies heavily on the skill level of the person performing it. The images captured by the ultrasound and how they are interpreted by the physician performing the examination form the basis of the evaluation.

Despite the advanced ultrasound technology available today and the knowledge and skills we have attained, we do not have a perfect method of determining whether the baby in the womb is healthy. Ultrasound remains the best examination and evaluation method available, but it is important to note that the skill level and experience of the person performing the examination is crucial.

The physicians who can perform the most advanced level of detailed examinations of the foetus are foetal perinatologists. They spend their entire careers evaluating and managing foetal problems. Detailed ultrasound examination during pregnancy is considered an advanced examination method that falls within the field of perinatology.
