Application of Cervical Elastography in Obstetrics

While patients are having their routine cervical ultrasound assessments which requires a 5 minute time period, we will use the built-in software to obtain additional E-cervix measurements to evaluate the consistency of the cervical os. This will be done within the standard 5 minute period which is typically done to observe for dynamic changes. The measurements will be obtained with the same sonogram machine, using updated software.
