Obstetric Imaging

Obstetric Imaging

During your obstetric ultrasound, the sonographer will use a handheld probe which emits sound waves. Your lower abdomen will have gel applied to enable the sound waves from the probe to harmlessly bounce off the uterus and internal organs.
These sound waves eventually return to the transducer whereby they are converted to diagnostic images.These images/information about your pregnancy assists the doctor in ensuring a successful outcome for you and your baby.
Your procedure can take anywhere between 15-60 minutes depending on the differing stages of your pregnancy and the positioning of the baby.
We will Bulk-Bill obstetric scans on the condition that all your obstetric imaging in your current pregnancy is completed at South West Radiology.
If you elect to have Ultrasound scans with different radiology providers, we will charge $250 per scan as our staff and doctors require more time to access/review/compare your images from other providers.

We are committed to providing comprehensive and affordable Obstetric Imaging to our patients.

There are many reasons a doctor may request an ultrasound. Some of these are:

  • To assist in determining the gestational age (when the baby is due).
  • To assess the growth of a baby.
  • To assess the number of babies.
  • To check for possible abnormalities.
  • To follow-up on any bleeding during the pregnancy.

Ultrasound is a very safe and accurate investigative tool used to assess many organs in the body. Ultrasound uses harmless high frequency inaudible sound waves to obtain images. Ultrasound waves are not dangerous or irritating to adults or children. There is NO radiation with an ultrasound examination.
It is the sonographer’s duty to perform the test and ensure the images are of high quality for the radiologist (specialist) to interpret them.
