    Routine real-time ultrasound scans accurately assess gestational age in 94% of patients. This method is faster and reduces the need for other ultrasound techniques, offering significant clinical benefits in antenatal care.

    Area of Science:

    • Obstetrics and Gynecology
    • Medical Imaging
    • Prenatal Diagnostics

    Background:

    • Antenatal clinics routinely utilize ultrasound for patient assessment.
    • Evaluating new diagnostic techniques is crucial for improving patient care.
    • Real-time ultrasound offers potential advantages over traditional methods.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess the accuracy of real-time ultrasound in determining gestational age.
    • To evaluate the additional workload and clinical benefits of routine real-time scanning.
    • To compare the efficiency of real-time ultrasound with B-scan methods.

    Main Methods:

    • A single operator performed routine real-time ultrasonic scans on all attending antenatal patients.
    • Scan time averaged 6 minutes, significantly less than the 15 minutes for B-scans.

  • Discrepancies in gestational age assessment were resolved by independent post-birth evaluation.

    • Main Results:

    • Real-time scanning demonstrated 94% reliability in assessing gestational age during the first antenatal visit.
    • There was a notable reduction in the utilization of B-scanning facilities.
    • The technique proved to be a reliable and efficient method for routine antenatal assessment.

    Conclusions:

    • Routine real-time ultrasound scanning is a reliable method for assessing gestational age in early pregnancy.
    • The adoption of real-time scanning significantly decreases the need for other ultrasound modalities.
    • This technique enhances efficiency and clinical utility in antenatal care settings.
