Summary
A portable real-time ultrasound scanner was transported to nine district antenatal clinics up to 35 miles from the base hospital. A total of 100 patients was scanned. During a scanning time of five to ten minutes, measurements of biparietal diameters were obtained easily, and in most cases details of placental location, fetal movement and the fetal spine were obtained.
