Abstract

Today, Ultrasound has become an indispensible tool in practice of Obstetrics and Gynecology. It is presently the safest and most readily available diagnostic modality to evaluate fetal health and intrauterine environment. Almost every mother undergoes it. But, 60-years ago, when its role was first suggested for this purpose, it seemed like a ridiculus idea and was met with intense scepticism. The development of Diagnostic Ultrasound as a modality and its popularisation in the field of Medicine and Obstetrics is an incredible story that I reckon befitting for the inaugural edition of this journal.
