You can surely compare them with ultrasound as for humans.  Quite reliable.  But you wont get exact dates no, if it is what  you mean.  As almost always, it will be quessing.  Although a vet experienced in obstetrics will of course have a better guess than a newly examined vet specialized on large animals.
