  2. The history of ultrasound and baby scanning For ?ost wo?e? today, it’s hard to i?agi?e goi?g through a preg?a??y without having an ultrasound scan. But these iconic images and movies of a developing fetus, generated by the reflection of high frequency sound waves, have only been around since the mid-1950s. Ultrasound was first used for clinical purposes in 1956 in Glasgow. Obstetrician Ian Donald and engineer Tom Brown developed the first prototype systems based on an instrument used to detect industrial flaws in ships of all things! They perfected its clinical use and by the end of the 1950s and ultrasound was the? routi?ely used i? Glasgow hospitals ?ut it did?’t really take off i? British hospitals until the 1970s. By the end of the 20th century, ultrasound imaging had become routine in maternity clinics throughout the developed world. The technology has undergone extensive development over the past 20 years. https://windowtothewomb.co.uk
