Division of Diagnostic Ultrasound

The Division of Diagnostic Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology provides excellent patient care and teaching and conducts high-quality research. The Diagnostic Ultrasound Center has earned a national reputation for its role in developing techniques to better define fetal growth, predict fetal weight, and detect fetal anomalies.

The Diagnostic Ultrasound Center, an integral part of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, has the capability of taking images of approximately 50-55 patients per day; of those, 30-35 are obstetric scans (12,000-13,000 total scans per year). The center's ultrasound equipment consists of seven real-time units, all of which have color Doppler capabilities. Staffing consists of five attending physicians and six full-time and four part-time registered sonographers.
