“…In addition, they reported using radiography to assess the maternal pelvis for deformities that might cause obstruction of labor. They noted, as did Edling (3), the technical difficulties of visualizing fetal structures because of obscuration by the maternal spine and pelvic bones, as well as maternal obesity (1)(2)(3). At this point in the history of x-rays, there were no known harmful effects to the fetus (2).…”

In these early studies, the authors described using radiographs to confirm pregnancy by visualizing fetal osseous structures, assess fetal position (Fig 1), estimate gestational age, and diagnose fetal bone anomalies such as achrondroplasia.…”

During the past century, imaging of the pregnant patient has been performed with radiography, scintigraphy, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and ultrasonography (US). US imaging has emerged as the primary imaging modality, because it provides real-time images at relatively low cost without the use of ionizing radiation. This review begins with a discussion of the history and current status of imaging modalities other than US for the pregnant patient. The discussion then turns to an in-depth description of how US technology advanced to become such a valuable diagnostic tool in the obstetric patient. Finally, the broad range of diagnostic uses of US in these patients is presented, including its uses for distinguishing an intrauterine pregnancy from a failed or ectopic pregnancy in the first trimester; assigning gestational age and assessing fetal weight; evaluating the fetus for anomalies and aneuploidy; examining the uterus, cervix, placenta, and amniotic fluid; and guiding obstetric interventional procedures.
