Our ultrasounds are limited to obstetric ultrasounds and are used to determine the safety and health of the pregnancy. We determine the location of pregnancy, essential for ruling out ectopic pregnancy. We assess for cardiac activity to rule out a miscarriage, and we determine gestational age.
Ultrasound is a noninvasive imaging test that uses high-frequency sound waves to create pictures of organs, tissues, and other structures inside your body. It is a painless and very safe procedure performed by a trained technician called a sonographer. During the procedure, you will lie on a table and the sonographer will apply a warm gel to your skin. The gel helps the sound waves travel through your skin and body.
The sonographer will run a handheld device called a transducer over the gel. The transducer sends sound waves into your body and receives echoes back that are converted into images on a computer screen. You may be asked to hold your breath or change positions in order to get better images. The procedure usually takes no more than 30 minutes.
* If you need to cancel or reschedule your ultrasound, please provide at least 24 hours notice.
