Description
Summary:The current study assessed level of comfort of medical students using 3-dimensional/4-dimensional (3D/4D) ultrasound technology after participating in an obstetrical ultrasound educational activity. The majority of students agreed that they were capable of performing and interpreting 2-dimensional and 3D/4D obstetrical ultrasounds and that the training benefited their clinical decision-making skills. Additionally, students agreed that access to 3D/4D ultrasound technology would encourage patients to seek physician care and act as a useful tool for patient education.
