How accurate is an ultrasound done in an emergency room ultrasoundroom? in relation to pregnancy ?

Ultrasound: The quality of ultrasounds should not matter whether done in the ER or in the radiology suite. Most ultrasound technicians are well trained

Usually good: Quality of Ultrasound in the ER depends on who is performing the study. Most ultrasound technologists are highly qualified and can do a basic ultrasound to detect a pregnancy.
