Digital Medical Sonography
Our digital medical sonography services use sound waves to produce images of the inside of the body. It is a non-invasive procedure used to evaluate fetal development and diagnose gynecological conditions. During the procedure, a transducer is placed on the skin and moved over the examined area. Our registered technologists use their expertise to capture detailed images that will diagnose and evaluate medical conditions. Our exams are sent to Radiology Associates and read by board-certified radiologists who have specialized training in women's imaging.
3D/4D Sonograms
Our 3D/4D Sonograms give expectant parents a unique opportunity to see their babies before birth. The best time to have a 3D/4D sonogram is between 28 & 32 weeks gestation. At this point in the pregnancy, the baby is starting to look more like a real baby and less skeletal.
Our 3D/4D sonograms use advanced technology to capture real-time images of the baby's movements, allowing parents to bond with their baby before they are born.
