Abstract
The field of diagnostic medical ultrasound has established itself as an integral and essential part of diagnostic imaging. This is indicated by the fact that the number of sonographers more than tripled between 1975 and 1982 [1]. In February of 1984, the National Institute of Health estimated that one-third to one-half of all pregnant women in the United States have ultrasound evaluation at some point [2].
