Ultraview Imaging offer Level One diagnostic services. We provide our services to many expectant families desiring to complete their ultrasound in a more family-centered, patient-focused environment. We offer complimentary images of your session, and as always gender determination is by request only. Please call our office for more information.

When spending your money for a diagnostic fetal ultrasound, you will no longer be rushed through the procedure. And, the fee for an exam at Ultraview Imaging is over 50 percent less than the common cost of an obstetric sonogram at other institutions in the Dallas/Ft Worth area. Ultraview Imaging employs only registered diagnostic sonographers. Once the diagnostic ultrasound is complete the reports of all findings are forwarded to our supervising physician and the patient's physician, midwife, or clinic overseeing the pregnancy. The fetal sonogram is performed abdominally.

Level One Diagnostic Services:

Fetal Anatomy Screening with Fetal Measurements ($245)

This is a very thorough scan to check the baby's 4 chamber heart, brain, spine, bowel, kidneys, bladder, 3V cord, cord insertion and limbs to detect any abnormalities. This can never completely guarantee that the baby will be normal but it gives very strong reassurance. We also check the placenta,and amniotic fluid. If requested the sex is determined on this scan.

Fetal Measurements (Weight, (EDD) Estimated Due Date) ($145)

On this scan we measure the baby's head, abdomen and limbs. We get an estimate of the weight of the baby. This gives a guide to how big the baby is.

Fetal Position ($45)

This scan is done closer to the end of pregnancy to assure the physician that the baby is in the vertex position (head down).

Placenta location ($45)

We check for placenta previa, placenta tearing or placenta bleeding.

Amniotic Fluid Volume Assement ($50)

This is to check for polyhydramnios (too much amniotic fluid), or oligohydramnios (too little amniotic fluid)

Biophysical Profiles ($150)

This is a GREAT tool to check for fetal well being. We will check for fetal movement, breathing, flexsion, heart excelleration, and amniotic fluid.

Cervical Length Check($50)

If you are at risk of premature birth then we can scan to assess the length of the uterine cervix. This can be done at any stage from 16 weeks but is most useful at 18 - 21 weeks of pregnancy with a full bladder.

Nuchal Translucency Screen:

11-13 wks + 6 days scan ($399)

What is a Nuchal Translucency Screen?

This prenatal test can help your practitioner assess your baby's risk of having Down Syndrome (DS) and some other chromosomal abnormalities (Trisomy 18 or Trisomy 13) as well as major congenital heart problems. The screening uses ultrasound to first confirm your baby's gestational age. The NT test uses ultrasound to measure the clear (translucent) space in the tissue at the back of your developing baby's neck. Babies with abnormalities tend to accumulate more fluid at the back of their neck during the first trimester, causing this clear space to be larger than average. Blood is then taken from your arm or with a finger stick to measure the levels of two proteins, freeBeta hCG and PAPP-A.

The NT scan must be done when you're between 11 and 13 weeks 6 days pregnant. It's usually offered along with a blood test in what's known as first trimester combined screening. An increased risk on a screening test does not mean that a chromosome condition has been diagnosed. Your physician may recommend genetic counseling and a safe diangostic CVS or aminocentesis for chromosome diagnosis.

Early Screen is not a subsitute for a diagnostic test. It identifies 91% Down Syndrome, 97% of Trisomy 18 and Trisomy 13, and about 40% of heart defects. It is a screening test which estimates your risk but does not give a diagnosis. Ultrasound technicians (sonographers) and doctors need special training and high-resolution ultrasound equipment to perform it correctly. They must be certified.
