Technological advances in Reveal Ultrasound, such as enhanced 3D and 4D imaging and improved transducer technology, have made the procedure more detailed and accurate. As a result, parents can see clearer, more lifelike images of their baby than ever before. Ultrasound imaging is one of several tools obstetricians use to monitor a pregnancy’s progress.
Our team at Physicians for Women uses this technology to monitor your pregnancy and diagnose health conditions. It painlessly creates images of the structures of your body so we can either see your growing baby or look for potential problems. The practice offers the latest state-of-the-art 4D GE Voluson ultrasound for use in obstetrics and gynecology.
Ultrasound works by sending sound waves from a handheld transducer through your skin and into your body, where they bounce off organs and other tissues, and then return to the transducer. The transducer sends them to a computer, which translates the waves into detailed images.
At Physicians for Women, you can expect the following types of ultrasound exams:
During this ultrasound, your provider applies a harmless gel to your skin to boost sound wave transmission. They then apply the transducer to your skin, moving it across your skin to obtain an image.
In this type of ultrasound, your provider places the transducer inside your vagina. Doing so produces a clearer image of your pelvic organs.
When you’re pregnant, this imaging allows your provider to evaluate your baby’s position, anatomy, and growth, as well as the status of your placenta and amniotic fluid. At Physicians for Women, expect an early scan at eight and 12 weeks gestation and again at 20 weeks for a detailed, in-depth assessment of your baby with incredibly detailed images.
You also may opt for REVEAL ultrasounds when you’re 16 weeks and 32 weeks pregnant, using the 4D GE Voluson system. This technology offers movie-like images of your growing baby.
Ultrasound helps us detect and diagnose gynecological conditions. Diagnostic transvaginal ultrasound is essential for determining the cause of symptoms, such as pelvic pain and abnormal bleeding, which may be a sign of underlying pathology.
Physicians for Women uses ultrasound to evaluate common gynecological conditions, such as:
In certain cases, we recommend a more detailed type of ultrasound exam called sonohysterography to find the source of abnormal bleeding or pain and to direct treatment options. During sonohysterography, your provider inserts fluid painlessly into your uterus via a tiny catheter. The fluid helps create more detailed images on the ultrasound.
When you need ultrasound imaging during pregnancy or for a woman’s health condition, count on the experience of Physicians for Women. To schedule an ultrasound, please call our office at (608) 227-7007 or request an appointment through our website today.
