AB In  the  diagnosis  of  obstetric  and  fetal  conditions,  ultrasound  is  a  valuable  and  frequently  used  tool.  Traditionally,  labor  and  delivery  units  have  managed  with  “hand-me-down”  scanners,  retired  from  the  hospitals'  main  ultrasound  department.  More  recently,  numerous  feature-packed  and  extremely  portable  ultrasound  machines  have  appeared  that  are  designed  for  bedside  imaging  in  the  acute  setting.  This  has  allowed  advances  in  prenatal  ultrasound  to  be  transferred  to  the  intrapartum  setting  and  enabled  novel  approaches  to  age-old  assessments.  Changing  patient  demographics,  including  increasing  maternal  obesity,  are  further  drivers  for  change.
