Can an ultrasound detect a miscarriage?

Patient's question:

Wife has been pregnant for so long but her stomach hasn't gotten big, I suspect it's a miscarriage, can an ultrasound detect a miscarriage?

Doctor's answer:

The situation you described can be implemented with an abdominal MRI examination. An abdominal MRI examination can visually observe the fetal growth and development, and it is a relatively reliable examination method. When performing an MRI examination in the early stages of pregnancy, it is necessary to have the bladder properly filled. A properly filled bladder can create a good acoustic window, which helps in observing the pregnant uterus. If it is in the middle to late stages of early pregnancy, it is no longer necessary.
