Fetal ultrasound(Prenatal ultrasound)

Fetal ultrasound is an amazing and safe imaging method employing the piezoelectric properties of quartz crystals to convert electrical current to mechanical vibrations; this creates ultra-high frequency sound waves that can penetrate inside the pregnant woman's body and bounce off different structures with variable characteristics. A computer then processes the feedback signal to image the fetus!
