300 + Total fetal MRIs annually

Fetal ultrasound uses soundwaves to produce detailed images of the baby . With advanced ultrasound equipment and experienced providers and sonographers , we leverage fetal ultrasound techniques to do what few centers in the country can do : accurately diagnose complex fetal anomalies .
Fetal echocardiogram
An echo provides early , accurate diagnosis of fetal heart conditions that can lead to faster and better treatment after birth . These steps can improve the chance of survival and outcomes for infants with severe heart defects . Our team of fetal cardiologists and cardiac sonographers has extensive training in complex congenital heart defects and heart rhythm abnormalities , as well as access to state-of-the-art equipment that helps them obtain the most detailed images possible .
Fetal MRI
Our fetal MRI program is a key component of our multidisciplinary approach to patient care , providing scans for pregnant patients during the most critical times of their pregnancy . The MRIs take place in a wide-board scanner , creating a more comfortable experience . These scans are performed without anesthesia or contrast to minimize risk to the unborn baby . Once the baby is born , our radiology team continues to provide the highest quality imaging across the span of care .
Diagnostic procedures
Our facilities and experience give us the capability of performing any available diagnostic procedure , including genetic amniocentesis , chorionic villus sampling and fetal blood sampling .
