In our Surprise office we offer 2D/3D/4D/HD Live Ultrasounds.
Our ultrasound machine is similar to the machine in your doctor's office, using soundwaves to create the images. The only difference in our machine is the programming in which it converts the 2D images you are used to seeing into 3D/4D images. Many people ask what the difference is between 3D and 4D Ultrasound. During your scan you will get to watch your baby sleep, squirm around and even practice swallowing, breathing and opening their eyes. If you choose a package that includes a DVD, the tech will be recording everything during the session. This portion of the ultrasound is considered 4D. As you are watching your baby on the screen, the ultrasound tech is snapping images to print for you or download onto a CD in jpeg form for you to take home as a keepsake. All of the saved and printed images are what is considered the 3D portion of your ultrasound.
HD Live is another advancement in the programming in our ultrasound machine. This feature allows our tech to adjust the light source, either creating a more lit or shadowed effect. This helps increase the depth perception making the images you see more realistic.
One of the most important things you can do to assure great clarity in your pictures is making sure you have adequate amniotic fluid. Staying hydrated while pregnant is important for many reasons, but having plenty of fluid increases the quality of the images captured during your ultrasound. We recommend that everyone drink ½ ounce of water per pound, i.e., if you weigh 150 pounds you should be drinking 75 ounces of water per day. Our ultrasound tech will check your amniotic fluid level during your ultrasound and this is included with our limited diagnostic exam with which each ultrasound we offer.
Our Surprise Office is excited to announce that we are now offering thermography!
Medical Thermography is a painless, non-invasive, radiation free form of imaging used to discover abnormalities in human physiology. This form of imaging tool is used to detect change in blood flow and heat patterns that indicate injury, inflammation, disease and active cancer cells. The use of thermography can lead to earlier diagnosis which can then allow for intervention at an earlier stage.
Is thermography safe? In 1982 the Federal Drug Commission (FDA) approved medical thermography for human use. The current systems prove high speed, high resolution imaging and state of the art digital technology. All images are captured by certified technicians and highly qualified physicians interpret these images for medical use. Thermography today is now accepted and valued with standardized applications in Neurology, Vascular Medicine, Sports Medicine, Breath Health and many others.
Thermography has played a valuable role in breast imaging and diagnosing breast cancer at an earlier stage. No one breast imaging tool can diagnose breast cancer alone, so utilizing two or more imaging tools helps assure you have the best overview of your health. Thermographic images can detect cancer cells years before they show up on a mammogram. So thermography is a valuable tool in your breast health.
Our certified technicians provide infrared imaging of breast, full body, upper body or a region of interest to assess issues and detect early patterns of disease. Early detection saves lives!
Breast Thermography: $175
Upper Body: $325
