Ultrasounds

Gynecologic Ultrasounds

Gynecologic Ultrasounds are used to examine the female pelvic organs (specifically the uterus, endometrium [uterine lining], the ovaries, and the fallopian tubes). Our ultrasounds are formally read by board-certified faculty at Northwestern Medicine Prentice Women’s Hospital.

A gynecologic ultrasound can show:

  • Uterine fibroids
  • Pelvic masses
  • Ovarian cysts or masses
  • Endometrial polyps or abnormalities
  • The position of an intrauterine device (IUD)
  • Ovulation status (useful in treating infertility)

Another type of gynecologic ultrasound is sonohysterogram (also called Saline Infusion Sonography or SIS). During a transvaginal ultrasound, saline is infused into the uterus and used to detect the presence of intrauterine lesions such as polyps or fibroids.

Many times, gynecologic ultrasounds and sonohysterograms need to be done at a particular point in your menstrual cycle, so it’s important that you work closely with your doctor to schedule your ultrasound appointment at the right time. It is also important that you schedule an additional appointment after the ultrasound to review the results with your doctor.

Obstetric Ultrasounds

In our office, we provide complete prenatal care for both high- and low-risk pregnancies. We offer in-house obstetric ultrasounds, which are formally read by board-certified faculty at Northwestern Medicine Prentice Women’s Hospital.

The types of ultrasounds we provide include:

  • Initial obstetric ultrasound to confirm pregnancy, done at first OB visit
  • Ultrasound for nuchal translucency, done between 11 weeks and 4 days and 13 weeks and 6 days
  • Level 1 anatomy ultrasound, done between 18 and 21 weeks, evaluates fetal anatomy, growth, placental position, amniotic fluid volume, and cervical length—gender can be determined at this time
  • Growth ultrasound, usually done in the third trimester, if necessary to evaluate fetal growth
  • Multiple gestation ultrasound
  • Biophysical profile

If indicated, a level II ultrasound will be done at the hospital.
