  • Title: Ethics in obstetric ultrasound.
    Author: Chervenak FA, McCullough LB.
    Journal: J Ultrasound Med; 1989 Sep; 8(9):493-7. PubMed ID: 2674471.
    Abstract:
    The authors provide an overview of ethics, medical ethics, and obstetric ethics. An ethical framework is developed using the beneficence and autonomy models of moral responsibility in obstetric care. In terms of this framework, four ethical issues common to all ultrasound examinations are examined: (1) competence to perform obstetric ultrasound and referral to specialists, (2) routine ultrasound screening, (3) disclosure of results, and (4) confidentiality.
