ultrasound photo

Fetal imaging printout

An ultrasound photo is a printed image from an ultrasound scan, typically showing a fetus during pregnancy.

Parents often share these grainy, black-and-white images as the first "pictures" of their baby: She posted the ultrasound photo on Instagram.

The term applies to diagnostic images of other body parts as well, though pregnancy announcements dominate popular usage.
