Pregnant:
Our Ultrasound Services
-
Designed to establish the simple fact that you're pregnant. A pregnancy within your uterus is not visible until about 5 or 6 weeks after the first day of your last period. This is a basic ultrasound exam seen across your abdomen or transvaginally if the images are unclear. You may seek a scan like this to confirm your pregnancy in response to spotting or bleeding early in your pregnancy, if your dates are unclear, or simply out of curiosity.
-
This scan is designed for those pregnant women between 7 and 13 weeks from their last period with a known pregnancy. We would measure your baby's size and assess as much of the anatomy as visible at the time. The exam could be transvaginally if the abdominal images are not clearly seen.
-
This scan is done during the 2nd or 3rd trimester, essentially after 13 weeks into your pregnancy. We view the baby’s heartbeat, movement, presenting part, position of the placenta, the amount of fluid, or other views you’re interested in seeing. This lasts about 15 minutes and is meant for reassurance that your pregnancy is progressing as expected.
-
This exam, usually done as close to 20 weeks as possible, is a full anatomic review of your baby and uterus. Your baby's anatomy is developed enough at that point to assess whether the heart, brain, arms and legs, etc... are developing normally. We can usually determine your baby's sex by this point as well. This is the same scan you'd receive from your doctor's or midwife's office. We are proud to offer this exam to you at a steep discount to what you would pay at the hospital.
-
Obtaining a 3D image is highly dependent on the position of your baby and the amount of fluid surrounding him or her. A 4D scan is simply a moving version of a 3D scan, although slightly less clear. If your baby's in the perfect position we'll get that picture for you. There is no additional charge for 3D images.
*Twin scans require an additional $39
Non Pregnant:
-
Your pelvic anatomy- uterus, ovaries, and bladder- can be seen through your abdominal wall with an ultrasound transducer. Assessing an ovarian cyst or a uterine fibroid is a common practice and is offered to you at your discretion.
-
Your pelvic anatomy may not be clearly seen by the abdominal approach for a number of reasons that are out of your control, as an example, you may have a retroverted uterus. A transvaginal transducer gets much closer to your ovaries and uterus and thus gives a much clearer image. It's not a painful process and has been described as feeling "odd". We offer you the choice between these two exams. If you asked for a transabdominal scan and were not content with the images a vaginal scan could be done and you would not be charged for the transabdominal scan.
-
This is a transvaginal scan involving an antral follicle count and a 3D evaluation of your endometrial cavity. AFC is the most direct measure of ovarian reserve and corresponds to how many eggs are likely to be retrieved during IVF.
