Perinatal Diagnostic Center

The Perinatal Diagnostic Center uses the latest ultrasound technology to evaluate both low- and high-risk obstetrical patients. We offer perinatal consulting with a perinataolgist for in and outpatients.  Our Reproductive Genetics Department offers genetic counseling as part of comprehensive prenatal diagnosis.

We specialize in non-invasive fetal testing as well as invasive testing and treatment.

Non-Invasive Fetal Testing

     - Transabdominal & transvaginal ultrasound
     - Fetal growth assessment using multiple parameter computerized
       assessment
     - Level II ultrasound for major anomaly detection
     - Targeted ultrasound for anatomical and functional assessment of
       complex cardiac and multisystem defects
     - Multidisciplinary management approach in collaboration with pediatric sub-specialists
     - Utero-placental and fetal placental Doppler for high-risk pregnancies
     - Complete fetal Doppler (umbilical artery, middle cerebral artery, descending aorta,
       inferior vena cava, cardiac outflows, and ductus venosus) for the assessment of the fetus
       with growth restriction prior to term
     - Non-stress test along with biophysical profile for fetal well-being assessment of fetuses at risk
     - Computerized ratios of multiple fetal Doppler parameters for the assessment of fetal
       brain oxygenation (brain sparing assessment)

Invasive Testing and Treatment

Some high-risk pregnancies involve intensive fetal surveillance to provide information about the health of the fetus. Certain conditions may require procedures for diagnostic or treatment purposes as follows:

     - Amniocentesis
     - Chorionic Villus Sampling (CVS)
     - Fetal Echocardiogram
     - Percutaneous
     - Umbilical Blood sampling
     - Transfusions
