Medical ultrasound scanners are a very important technology in the physical examination of pregnant women, which can provide high-quality images to assess the health status of the fetus. This article will discuss the application and advantages of medical ultrasound scanners in the physical examination of pregnant women.

Fetal monitoring

Medical ultrasound scanners can help doctors monitor the fetal development of pregnant women. By scanning the fetal head circumference, abdominal circumference, and femoral length, doctors can determine the fetal weight and growth rate, and understand whether the fetal development is normal. If pregnant women suffer from high risk factors such as hypertension, diabetes, amniotic fluid or oligohydramnios, doctors can use ultrasonic scanners more frequently to monitor the health of the fetus, find problems in time and take appropriate treatment measures.

Diagnosis of diseases during pregnancy

Medical ultrasound scanners can be used to diagnose diseases during pregnancy, such as intrauterine growth restriction, placenta previa, abnormal fetal position, and amniotic fluid embolism. By scanning the fetus and mother, doctors can determine the severity of the disease and determine whether urgent treatment measures are needed.

Give pregnant women and their families peace of mind

Using a medical ultrasound scanner can make pregnant women and their families feel more secure. They can see images and dynamic images of the fetus on the screen, understand the health status of the fetus, and better participate in the growth process of the fetus.

Early detection of fetal defects

Medical ultrasound scanners can help doctors detect fetal congenital defects in the early stages of pregnancy, such as hydrocephalus, heart disease, and spina bifida. This can prompt parents to adjust their mindset early and prepare for the treatment and care of the fetus after birth.

Coaching prenatal diagnosis

Medical ultrasound scanners can also be used to guide prenatal diagnosis, such as amniocentesis, villus biopsy, and so on. These technologies can provide more accurate diagnosis and genetic testing of fetal diseases, enabling parents to make better treatment plans and fertility decisions.

In summary, medical ultrasound scanners have a wide range of applications in pregnant women's physical examinations, providing high-quality images to assess the health of the fetus. In addition, it can also guide prenatal diagnosis and help pregnant women and their families better understand the growth process of the fetus.
