Obstetrical Ultrasound and Prenatal Screening

WHAT TO KNOW

While other patients can be evaluated by asking questions that may point toward a diagnosis, considering that the fetus is a rather unique patient, one of the safest, most readily and efficient tools to evaluate fetal health or potential maternal pregnancy complications is an ultrasound.

Ultrasound is an essential tool utilized for or as an adjunct to:

Early dating and viability

First Trimester screening

• Nuchal translucency evaluation

• Sequential screening

• Cell free fetal DNA

Invasive fetal testing

• CVS

• Amniocentesis

Early fetal anatomy

Transvaginal cervical surveillance

Targeted/detailed fetal anatomy

Estimated Fetal Weight

Fetal Echocardiogram
