Abstract:
Obstetric ultrasound (US) is an integral part of fetal surgery for open and minimally invasive techniques. With advances in US imaging, the ability to refine diagnosis, predict prognosis, and contribute to fetal treatment continues to grow. Current research in fetal diagnosis and treatment includes identifying the most reliable sonographic features for determining prognosis before and after surgery.

Ultrasound I: Abdominal Ultrasonography
Abdominal ultrasonography, commonly known as abdominal ultrasound, is a vital, non-invasive medical imaging technique widely used in healthcare.
Procedure:
This diagnostic tool allows the clinician to visually inspect internal structures within the abdomen, including vital organs such as the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, kidneys, and spleen.
The abdominal ultrasound process begins with applying a special gel to the patient's skin over the abdomen. This gel enhances the...
