Ultrasound is a common imaging technique used during pregnancy to create images of the developing baby. These images help clinicians assess the pregnancy.

AI tools are sometimes used to support clinicians by highlighting patterns in ultrasound images. This technology does not make decisions on its own. It helps clinicians review images more efficiently and consistently.

Your care team always reviews results and makes decisions based on their clinical expertise and your individual situation.

AI is designed to assist clinicians, not replace them. It can help identify patterns in ultrasound images and support consistent review, but it does not diagnose conditions or make medical decisions.

All findings are reviewed by trained clinicians who consider your full medical history, clinical context, and individual needs before making any decisions about care.

AI-supported tools can help clinicians work more efficiently by bringing attention to patterns that may be difficult to see at first glance. This can support consistent review across exams and help streamline workflows.

These tools are used as part of a broader clinical process and always alongside professional medical judgment.

Ultrasound has been used in prenatal care for decades and is widely considered safe when performed by trained professionals. It uses sound waves, not radiation, to create images of the developing baby.

Clinicians follow established guidelines to ensure ultrasounds are performed appropriately and only when medically indicated.

Patient information is handled with strict privacy and security standards. Ultrasound images and related data are protected using safeguards designed to prevent unauthorized access.

Data is used only for clinical care and approved purposes, in accordance with applicable privacy regulations.

AI tools used in prenatal care are developed with oversight, validation, and clinical input. They are designed to support, not replace, clinical expertise.

Clinicians remain fully responsible for reviewing results and making care decisions, ensuring AI is used thoughtfully and appropriately.

Before your appointment, your care team may provide guidance on preparation, such as hydration or timing. Instructions can vary depending on the type of ultrasound.

If you have questions before your visit, your care provider can help you understand what to expect.

During the exam, a trained clinician will use ultrasound equipment to capture images of the developing baby. The process is non-invasive and typically takes a short amount of time.

You may be asked to change positions to help obtain clear images.

After the exam, your care team reviews the images and discusses any findings with you. Results are interpreted by clinicians who consider your overall clinical context.

If follow-up is needed, your provider will explain next steps and answer any questions you may have.
