Abstract

OBJECTIVE: Obstetric ultrasound is key for assessing fetal growth and detecting anomalies, with image quality critical for diagnostic accuracy. Maternal body mass index (BMI) and other factors can impair quality. Aberration correction (AC) aims to reduce image quality degradation. This prospective observational study assessed the effect of AC on fetal ultrasound image quality and biometric measure…
