General Information

We have Ultrasound departments in both our Lebanon and Palmyra offices. Both Gynecological and obstetrical ultrasound services are provided as well as ultrasound based procedures such as amniocentesis and saline infusions.

The Ultrasound Department is accredited by the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine (AIUM) to perform gynecological and obstetrical ultrasounds. Our sonographers are certified by the American Registry of Diagnostic Medical Sonographers (ARDMS) in the specialty of OB/GYN. All of our physicians are skilled in interpreting both gynecologic and obstetrical ultrasounds.

In Lebanon, we accept Ultrasound appointments between 8:15 am and 4 pm Monday through Friday. In Palmyra, we also offer Ultrasound appointments - check with your scheduler for availability of appointments. Extended evening hours are also available for Obstetrical patients most Wednesday evenings until 7:30 PM. The Women’s Health Center staff is comprised of three highly trained sonographers.

Ultrasound testing must be specifically ordered by a physician for a medical reason and is not intended for the purpose of entertainment or gender determination. If you wish to see 3D/4D images of your baby or to determine your baby's gender, see the information on our web site about Keepsake Ultrasounds, a fee-for-service area that we offer in our Lebanon office.

Obstetrical Ultrasound

Ultrasound lets the doctor "see" inside a patient’s body. During pregnancy, ultrasound is used to examine the growing fetus inside the mother’s uterus. In a way, ultrasound serves as a type of physical exam of a fetus. It can provide valuable information about the fetus’s health and well-being.

Sonohysterography (Saline Infusion Ultrasound)

Sonohysterography or Saline Infusion as it is often called, is an ultrasound procedure we perform in our office. Sonohysterography requires infusion of saline into the uterine cavity during transvaginal ultrasound. This process can help delineate more clearly the presence of intrauterine lesions. This can be particularly helpful in cases of abnormal uterine bleeding.

Saline Infusions are performed in the Ultrasound Department at our Lebanon location. A special appointment is required for this procedure. If a sonohysterogram is recommended by one of our physicians, we will discuss the procedure and the particular indicators for it with you.
