Articles of category "Ultrasonography"

The happiest day of my life was when I found out my son was on his way. It was an ultrasound that showed him to me clearly, curled into his little ball. I love my boy. He's a good kid, though he can be a handful at times, he's still mine, and I'll never forget that picture I saw at the beginning of the second trimester. It changed my life forever, and it introduced me to his.

The following article touches on the most positive aspect of diagnostic ultrasonography. It is the production of "pictures" of a growing fetus. Parents normally treasure such pictures. Sometimes, however, such a picture can show that a baby has a birth defect. Further medical advances, such as those that led to the development of sonography, are often needed to treat such birth defects.
