Stuart Campbell is retired professor and obstetrician, who pioneered the medical use of ultrasound for pregnant women.

Early life and education

Campbell was born in Glasgow, Scotland, and graduated from the medical school of Glasgow University in 1961. During his training, he worked with Ian Donald, who had published some of the first papers on the use of ultrasound in obstetrics. Together, they published multiple papers on fetal biometry and developed charts of fetal measurements such as the biparietal diameter and head circumference. Their collaboration led to methods for estimating the fetal weight using ultrasound.

Career

He went on to work at Queen Charlotte's Hospital in London before being appointed Professor of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at King's College Hospital. There, he established the fetal medicine unit (now Harris-Birthright Research Centre for Fetal Medicine), where fetal medicine practitioners such as Kypros Nicolaides and Charles Rodeck would later train and work with him.

Campbell's work went on to describe the use of ultrasound to diagnose fetal anomalies and then the use of Doppler ultrasound, in particular uteroplacental Doppler, in the assessment of 'high-risk' pregnancies.

Campbell went on to become Professor of Obstetrics & Gynaecology at St George's Hospital Medical School before his retirement. He was founding President of the International Society of Ultrasound in Obstetrics & Gynecology (ISUOG) and the first editor of the journal Ultrasound in Obstetrics & Gynecology (The White Journal), a peer-reviewed journal that focuses on ultrasonography in obstetric and gynecologic practice.

In 1992, he was awarded the Ian Donald Gold Medal of ISUOG in recognition of his contributions to ultrasound in obstetrics and gynecology, having authored over 400 peer-reviewed publications.

Since 2001, Campbell has served as a consultant at CREATE Fertility, a clinic established to provide advanced techniques in reproductive medicine, antenatal care, and gynecological screening.

He has developed his interest in 3D imaging and animation and has published papers on a novel method of diagnosing cleft palate. In this work he collaborated with two colleagues at Addenbrookes Hospital, Christoph Lees (Director of Fetal Medicine), who now has become Professor of Obstetrics and works at Queen Charlotte's Hospital, and Per Hall, orofacial surgeon. The technique called the reverse face view provides detailed and reliable information on congenital defects of the fetal palate; hitherto only defects of the lips and alveolus could be visualized by existing techniques.

He was also the first to describe patterns of fetal behavior such as blinking, smiling, crying, and reflexes in early pregnancy. Many of his images and moving 3D sequences of fetal behavior have been used in television documentaries such as "My Fetus", "Life Before Birth", and "In the Womb".

He has also continued to work as supervisor of the ultrasound arm of the UKCTOCS (Ovarian Cancer Screening) trial.
