A member asked:

Can early ultrasound help determine paternity?

6 doctors weighed in across 3 answers

Paternity: With the current technology (2014) Ultrasound shows images of the fetus during pregnancy and by itself cannot be used to determine paternity

Paternity: No. Only DNA test can prove paternity results

No: Ultrasound will not determine paternity at any point. It can give you a range of days during which you were likely to have conceived. DNA testing would be the definitive test.
