Through an analysis of videotaped interactions between healthcare professionals and pregnant women during ultrasound prenatal examinations in Japan, I explore some aspects of sequence organization in which an ultrasound real-time fetus is organized. The ultrasound demonstration of the fetal condition is an intrinsically interactional and distributed achievement. The ultrasound fetus is constructed as a real-time object in a particular technological environment; in this environment, the participants' orientations to spatially separated operational fields, that is, the monitor screen and the woman's abdomen, are exhibited and integrated in the actual course of interaction. In conclusion, the fundamental relation between organizational lived work in a technological environment and the observable features of technology will be suggested.
通过对日本医疗保健专业人员与孕妇在超声产前检查过程中的录像互动进行分析，我探讨了超声实时胎儿组织方式的一些方面。超声胎儿状况的演示是一种内在的互动和分布式的成就。在特定的技术环境中，超声胎儿被构建为实时对象；在这种环境中，参与者对空间分离的操作领域的取向，即监控屏幕和女性的腹部，在实际的互动过程中被展示和整合。总之，将建议在技术环境中组织的有生命的工作与技术的可观察特征之间的基本关系。
