Ultrasonography

The Mom Infertility Center, equipped with two ultrasound rooms and a variety of ultrasound machines tailored to different clinical needs, provides a wide range of ultrasound services.
In the ultrasound department of the Mom Center, given the importance of ultrasound as a key diagnostic tool, one of the world’s most advanced ultrasound systems in this field—the Voluson E10 by GE—has been installed to best meet the needs of our valued patients.

Applications of Ultrasound During Pregnancy:

• Confirmation of pregnancy and determination of its exact location

• Determining gestational age

• Identifying the number of fetuses

• Monitoring fetal growth and development

• Evaluating placental status and amniotic fluid volume

• Detecting fetal abnormalities

• Assessing pregnancy-related problems and complications (such as spotting)

• Determining the precise site for sampling in prenatal screening tests such as amniocentesis or CVS

• Evaluating fetal position during the third trimester of pregnancy

Types of Specialized Ultrasound:

Some of the specialized ultrasound services provided at the Mom Center include the following:

3D Ultrasound:

3D ultrasound provides a three-dimensional image of the fetus and is performed—when deemed necessary by the physician—for a detailed evaluation of all fetal organs from head to toe.

4D Ultrasound:

As you may know, 3D ultrasound provides a three-dimensional image of the fetus; however, 4D ultrasound offers even more detailed imaging. From a simple yawn to body movements, heartbeat, and even the tiny bones of the fetus can be observed through 4D ultrasound. You can also see your baby’s face for the first time or watch your baby sucking their thumb.

These are just some of the features visible through 4D ultrasound. It is worth noting that the images produced are extremely clear; therefore, these ultrasounds are useful in helping diagnose any potential fetal issues. Depending on the physician’s recommendation, they may be performed and repeated at various stages of pregnancy.

Doppler Ultrasound:

Doppler ultrasound during pregnancy is used to assess placental blood vessels and fetal blood circulation. However, Doppler ultrasound is not limited to pregnancy and may be requested whenever evaluation of blood flow in vessels is needed.

NT Ultrasound:

NT (Nuchal Translucency) ultrasound measures the thickness of the fluid at the back of the fetus’s neck to screen for certain chromosomal abnormalities, such as Down syndrome. NT ultrasound is typically performed between weeks 11 and 14 of pregnancy.

Fetal Echocardiography:

Fetal echocardiography provides a detailed image of the fetal heart and is used to evaluate and diagnose congenital heart defects in the fetus.

The Mom Fertility and Infertility Treatment Center, utilizing the latest ultrasound equipment in various models suited to different clinical applications and in collaboration with the best and most experienced radiology and ultrasound specialists, offers a full range of ultrasound services, including 3D, 4D, and Doppler ultrasounds.
