Practical and financial considerations that affect selection and purchase of ultrasound equipment.
Ultrasound has become integrally involved in the medical management of obstetric patients. The decision to incorporate sonography into a routine obstetric and gynecologic practice requires input from all members of the practice. Only when there is such a commitment will patient care be optimal. Regardless of whether one believes that routine screening will improve perinatal outcome, the consensus is that timely and appropriate obstetric ultrasound examinations are beneficial.
