After an exploration of relevant technical principles, the ultrasonic findings which can be expected on scans of the uterus and ovaries of mares and cows are documented. Other chapters focus on the accuracy of ultrasound use for early pregnancy diagnosis (cows, goats, pigs and dogs), fetal number determination (sheep, goats), and estimation of fetal age (sheep, cows). A short survey is given of possible applications in other areas of veterinary medicine and current applications of ultrasonography in human reproduction are reviewed. Annotation c.
