Ultrasound

Brookhaven OB-GYN Associates, PA offers the newest state of the art imaging for our patients. 3D and 4D sonography allows us to see images of developing babies which were previously unseen before. The following information may help answer some questions you may have about this new technology.

• The 3D/4D sonogram is not an x-ray. It uses the same sound wave principals of the sonograms that we have always used.
• This sonogram is not intended to replace the 2D sonogram which is performed between 18 and 20 weeks. The sonogram, done at that time, remains the most sensitive test for detecting birth defects.
• The 3D/4D sonogram captures a more realistic image of the physical characteristics and appearance of a developing infant. It is best done between 28 and 32 weeks of your pregnancy.
• The cost for the 3D/4D sonogram is not currently covered by insurance.
• Pay by cash or credit card before services are rendered.

The package will include the following:

Your 3D/4D sonogram will be recorded on a DVD. You will also receive four 2 ½ x 3 ½ black and white images on a thermal sonogram paper, plus digital still shots on a CD-ROM. This allows for the captured images to be viewed, printed and emailed from your personal computer.

Price – $175.00

In many cases the images are incredible in their detail; however, the quality of the sonogram is dependent on the position, movement of the baby, and size of the mother. We do NOT guarantee that you will have a perfect picture of your baby. Due to the time requirements of these sonograms, no refund is offered as a result of these reasons.

OB ultrasound is the application of medical ultrasonography to obstetrics, in which sonography is used to visualize the embryo or fetus in its mother’s uterus (womb). The procedure is a standard part of prenatal care, as it yields a variety of information regarding the health of the mother and of the fetus, the progress of the pregnancy, and further information on the baby.

Gyn Ultrasound refers to the application of medical ultrasonography to the female pelvic organs, specifically the uterus, the ovaries, the Fallopian tubes, as well as the bladder, the adnexa, and any findings in the pelvis relevance outside of pregnancy.
