4D Ultrasound Gives Patients A Sneak Peak at Memorial Hermann The Woodlands

Houston, Texas, June 7, 2006 – New ultrasound capabilities at Memorial Hermann The Woodlands allow expectant parents to share high-quality images of their infants before birth.

“This system gives expectant parents a detailed first glimpse of their babies,” said Dawanda Nelson, director of the Imaging Center in Memorial Hermann Medical Plaza III on the campus of Memorial Hermann The Woodlands. “This is a great resource for moms whose obstetricians don’t provide such services in their offices.”

The 4D ultrasound system is used to capture photos of babies at 28-30 weeks. While diagnostic imaging studies ordered by physicians seek primarily to assess the baby’s well-being, 4D ultrasound produces keepsake pictures that highlight facial features and movements.

The new service requires a physician’s order prior to scheduling and is not covered by insurance. The $150 fee is payable by cash, check or credit card. For more information or to schedule an ultrasound, please call 281-364-2514.
