I'm obligated to ask this question of Echocardiography topic in section Diagnostic Investigation via Imaging Techniques of Clinical Science

Answer 1

Correct choice is (c) assess the baby’s heart, anatomy and function

For explanation: Ultrasound is a safe way that the doctors use to check the baby’s progress while in the womb. Echocardiography is the ultrasound of the heart and it can be done for an infant who is still in the mother’s womb. Fetal echocardiography is done to check the progress, growth and the health of the baby’s heart.
