Overview

Pregnancy diagnosis is the process of confirming and dating an established pregnancy and forms the entry point to antenatal care and the management of maternal and fetal health. It relies on detection of human chorionic gonadotropin in urine or serum, ultrasonographic visualization of the gestational sac and fetus, and clinical assessment, with early and accurate confirmation enabling timely risk stratification, dating, and identification of abnormal implantation. Imaging is central to characterizing both normal intrauterine pregnancy and atypical or complicated gestations, including rare implantation sites and fetal abnormalities. Research relevant to this area examines unusual pregnancies such as gestation in a non-communicating uterine horn with abnormal placentation, the prenatal evaluation of fetal cystic lesions posing diagnostic and prognostic challenges, and obstetric complications including placenta previa with prior cesarean delivery. Related work addresses hematologic conditions complicating pregnancy, gestational diabetes risk, urinary tract dysfunction, and the psychological dimensions of pregnancy and pregnancy loss. The signaling biology of early gestation, including human chorionic gonadotropin and uterine receptivity, provides mechanistic context. The journal publishes peer-reviewed clinical studies, case reports, and reviews addressing the confirmation, dating, and imaging of pregnancy, the diagnosis of abnormal and complicated gestations, and the early identification of conditions affecting maternal and fetal health.
