- Prenatal sonography is very important for quality patient management and effective service delivery in diagnostic radiology during the antenatal period. The study in this book was conducted to assess the perception of pregnant women to prenatal sonography and to investigate the factors affecting maternal satisfaction to prenatal sonography in some tertiary institutions in south‑eastern Nigeria. The study was a cross‑sectional study that involved 150 patients. It was conducted by administering semi‑structured questionnaires. The respondents were pregnant women who presented for obstetric sonography. The data were analyzed descriptively using frequency tables and percentages. There was a high indication of clinical use of obstetric ultrasound such as the health and well‑being of the foetus, foetal age, and the expected date of delivery. Most respondents (84.6%) perceived prenatal sonography as being necessary, and 66.7% of the patients considered the result of obstetric sonography to be reliable. In conclusion, most of the women perceived prenatal sonography as necessary and reliable. The services rendered were also considered satisfactory.
