[9] Velamentous cord insertion is often diagnosed using an abdominal ultrasound.
Risk factors for vasa praevia include velamentous insertion of the umbilical cord, placenta praevia in the second semester of the pregnancy, accessory placental lobes (succenturiate or bilobate placenta []), multiple gestation, and assisted reproduction, especially in vitro fertilisation; [2] an estimated 26% of instances are in pregnancies achieved with medical assistance.

It is a malformation due to intrauterine bands or rings that produce deep grooves in (most commonly distal) extremities such as fingers and toes.
A study published in 2004 was done to establish the sensitivity of ultrasound in the diagnosis of a nuchal cord. Each of 289 women, induced the same day, underwent a transabdominal ultrasound scan with an Aloka 1700 ultrasound machine with a 3.5 MHz abdominal probe, using gray-scale and color Doppler imaging immediately prior to induction of ...
The International Society of Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology (ISUOG) recommends that pregnant women have routine obstetric ultrasounds between 18 weeks' and 22 weeks' gestational age (the anatomy scan) in order to confirm pregnancy dating, to measure the fetus so that growth abnormalities can be recognized quickly later in pregnancy ...
Device for both vaginal ultrasonography and abdominal ultrasonography Transvaginal ultrasonography to check the location of an intrauterine device (IUD). The examination can be performed by transabdominal ultrasonography, generally with a full bladder which acts as an acoustic window to achieve better visualization of pelvis organs, or by transvaginal ultrasonography with a specifically ...
