Labor and Delivery

Labor and Delivery

Extraordinary Vision. Confident diagnosis. Early intervention.

The Voluson family of products empowers you with advancements in women's health ultrasound for labor and delivery so you can make clinical decisions with enhanced confidence.

Until now, evaluating and monitoring fetal head progression through the birth canal has been a subjective process yielding approximate results. That is why we have developed an automation tool to bring Voluson® innovation to the birthing process and support your manual exam. Sonography-based Volume Computer Aided Display labor (SonoVCAD™labor) uses transperineal volume ultrasound, allowing you to objectively assess and document the progression of labor. Voluson advanced image quality and volume tools provide you added confidence to know when it is necessary to take appropriate clinical actions. SonoVCADlabor allows you to:

  • Support your manual exam by measuring the progression of the position, direction and rotation of the fetal head. This allows for visual assistance of the head station when decisions such as C-section or instrument delivery are needed.
  • Document the entire labor process with a complete report based on 3D ultrasound that can also incorporate your manual exam to improve standardization.
  • Deliver care with more clinical confidence in known high-risk delivery situations, and more easily detect unexpected obstructed labor.
  • Choose from a number of measurement methods available based on input from international clinical leaders in labor imaging.
  • Provide your patients a minimally invasive, comfortable exam — allowing them to actively observe their labor progression.


We've made SonoVCADlabor available on the Voluson compact system to enable you to move freely from the bedside to the delivery room to the operating room, and to assist multiple patients within the same time period.

Your needs define our innovations. We've expanded our Voluson family of ultrasound systems to address your needs in labor and delivery. Now you have the technology to view quantitative fetal progression monitoring during the second stage of labor. You can feel confident that you have the information you need to make an objective diagnosis and provide extraordinary care.
