Abstract

Ultrasound has been used since the 1950’s to follow the progress of pregnancy. This harmless, reproducible examination has some limitations:

  • lack of precise tissue characterization

  • difficulty in the study of:

    • the mother’s deep pelvic structures in advanced pregnancy,

    • the placenta and its insertion when it is very posterior,

    • the fetus at the end of pregnancy in case of oligoamnios.

    • Moreover, its results depend much on the operator’s experience [10].
