Results
A fetal ultrasound scan uses reflected sound waves to produce a picture of your fetus, the organ that nourishes your fetus (placenta), and the liquid that surrounds your fetus (amniotic fluid).
You may not receive information about the test right away. Full results are usually available in 1 or 2 days.
