  1. This is the most common ultrasound technique used during pregnancy. The technician holds a wand shaped transducer and rubs it over the stomach to produce 2D image of the baby. In case any problem is analysed, the technician may perform an advanced ultrasound. In an advanced ultrasound, the technician point out the areas of concern and pay particular attention to those areas. For more information please visit here
