title: Ultrasonography in obstetric and gynaecological private practice.
abstract: A resume of the main uses of echography in obstetrics and gynaecology in a private practice is presented. The procedure is a simple, atraumatic one, without danger of X-radiation to the fetus or the hazard of angiography to the patient, and can be repeated without risk. It has a high degree of accuracy, as well as being a very useful aid, to gynaecologists and general practitioners alike, whenever there is doubt in the clinical assessment, or for confirmation of any underlying complication.
