Ultrasound has been used for over 35 years in obstetrics with no documented adverse effects to human babies. Countless studies have shown it to be a non-invasive tool with vast benefits. Some doctors use it as part of every routine prenatal visit. We strictly adhere to the standard set by the FDA which “restricts ultrasound exposure to levels that produce few, if any, effects on the fetus, based on epidemiological evidence” (FDA Consumer magazine, January-February 2004 Issue).

Our Three- and Four-Dimensional ultrasound imaging uses ultrasound energy subject to these same limits and is not a product of increased frequency or “power” levels, but a combination of increased data gathering (listening) by the transducer and software interpretation after data acquisition.

The result is a vast array of benefits without any harm to mother or baby.
