Diagnostic OB Ultrasounds
First Trimester OB <14 weeks
This is an early first trimester prenatal ultrasound performed transabdominally (on top of the belly) up to 14 weeks gestational age. The assessment includes evaluation of the following: number of embryos/fetuses, location of the pregnancy, fetal heart rate, ovaries and adnexal areas. An estimated due date will be provided.
*Certified Radiologist Reading Report included*
Please note: Patients must have a full bladder for this ultrasound. **Transvaginal ultrasound is recommended for patients under 8 weeks gestation for a more detailed evaluation. If a transvaginal ultrasound is required due to limited visualization transabdominally, a $50 fee will be added.
First Trimester Screening with Nuchal Translucency
This prenatal ultrasound is performed transabdominally (on top of the belly) between 11 to 13 weeks and 6 days. This test measures the fluid filled space at the back of the baby’s neck known as the nuchal translucency. The assessment includes evaluation of the following: fetal heart rate, limited fetal anatomy with documentation of placental location, fetal brain, nasal bone, identifying both upper and lower extremities, stomach, bladder, ovaries if visualized and adnexal areas. **The results of this scan may tell you if the baby has a high or low risk of a chromosomal abnormality.
*Certified Radiologist Reading Report included*
Patient Prep: Full bladder is required for exam
Fetal Anatomy Survey
This is a detailed fetal anatomic survey performed between 18-24 weeks gestation and assesses the anatomy and growth of the fetus. The assessment includes evaluation of the following: fetal heart rate, fetal position, placental location/cord insertion, intracranial anatomy, heart views, spine, face (profile, nasal bone, nose/lips and palate), 3VC, identifying both upper and lower extremities, gender, stomach, bladder, kidneys, renal arteries and cervix evaluated transabdominally.

Limited Assessment
This prenatal ultrasound is a follow-up exam for various indications from a prior scan such as bleeding or spotting, confirmation of viability, checking for fetal position in late pregnancy or amniotic fluid assessment.
