FAQ
Computed radiography (CR) is the digital replacement of conventional X-ray film radiography and offers enormous advantages for inspection tasks – the use of consumables is virtually eliminated and the time to produce an image is drastically shortened.
• Imaging plates are reusable
• No darkroom or chemicals needed
• Reduction in exposure and processing time
• Software-based evaluation and reporting
• Simple digital information exchange and archiving
Furthermore, more details are visible and analyzable with computed radiography due to a higher dynamic range when compared to film. Other advantages over film include a more simplified workflow, a safer working environment for operators and a more environmentally-friendly chemical-free process.
A fetal ultrasound (sonogram) is an imaging technique that uses sound waves to produce images of a fetus in the uterus.
The first fetal ultrasound is usually done during the first trimester to confirm the pregnancy and estimate how long you've been pregnant. If your pregnancy remains uncomplicated, the next ultrasound is typically offered between 11 and 13 weeks +6 days, referred to as the NT scan, this is followed by a detailed Anomaly scan at 20 - 22 weeks when anatomic details are visible. This is followed by the Growth scan with BPP assessment along with Doppler to determine and exclude fetal growth restriction.
There are two main types of fetal ultrasound exams:
• Transvaginal ultrasound. With this type of fetal ultrasound, a transducer is placed in your vagina to send out sound waves and gather the reflections. Transvaginal ultrasounds are used most often during early pregnancy. This type of ultrasound also might be done if a transabdominal ultrasound didn't provide enough information.
• Transabdominal ultrasound. A transabdominal fetal ultrasound is done by moving a transducer over your abdomen.
Purpose of scan:
• Confirm the pregnancy and its location. Some fetuses develop outside of the uterus, in the fallopian tube. A fetal ultrasound can help your Radiologist detect a pregnancy outside of the uterus (ectopic pregnancy).
• Determine the gestational age. Knowing the baby's age can help your health care provider determine your due date and track various milestones throughout your pregnancy.
• Confirm the number of fetuses.
• Evaluate growth of the fetus. The Radiologist can use ultrasound to determine whether your baby is growing at a normal rate. Ultrasound can be used to monitor your baby's movement, breathing and heart rate.
• Study the placenta and amniotic fluid levels. The placenta provides your baby with vital nutrients and oxygen-rich blood. Too much or too little amniotic fluid — the fluid that surrounds the baby in the uterus during pregnancy — or complications with the placenta need special attention. An ultrasound can help evaluate the placenta and amniotic fluid around the baby.
• Identify birth defects. An ultrasound is used to screen for some birth defects.
• Investigate complications. If you're bleeding or having other complications, an ultrasound might help your health care provider determine the cause.
• Determine fetal position before delivery. Ultrasound imaging can confirm the baby's presentation so that your health care provider can discuss options for delivery.
Fetal ultrasound is not used to determine a baby's sex.
