Basic ultrasound in O&G can be used to confirm and date pregnancies, screen for abnormalities, and evaluate problems in early pregnancy. Key applications include using scans from 4-5 weeks to detect a gestational sac and fetal pole, measuring the crown-rump length from 6-12 weeks to date the pregnancy, screening for issues like ectopic pregnancy or miscarriage, and assessing fetal growth and anatomy later in pregnancy. Ultrasound is also used for gynecological conditions like fibroids, cysts and infertility workups.
