Key points
- Late-gestation ultrasonography was performed on a captive white-bellied spider monkey without anesthesia.
- Positive reinforcement was used to achieve a rapid (<3 min) and low-stress procedure.
- Fetal viability and biometric parameters (heart, chest, abdomen, head) were documented.

Abstract
Summary Late-gestation ultrasonography was performed without anesthesia in captive Ateles belzebuth. Positive reinforcement enabled rapid, low-stress fetal assessment (<3 min). Fetal viability and biometric parameters (heart, chest, abdomen and head) were documented. Noninvasive ultrasonography supports conservation breeding of endangered primates.
