Imagine seeing your baby
before you see your baby!
The
birth of your child is a special time.
The anticipation for this
special arrival and event is one of the most exciting times in a
person's life. There are hopes, planning, excitement, and a
million questions. "Is our child a boy or a girl?"
"What are they doing?" "Do our child look like me or him?"
"Do they smile, yawn, suck their thumb?" Wouldn't it be great
to be able to find out? Wouldn't it be fantastic to literally
see your baby BEFORE you see your baby?
With
our state-of-the-art
3-D/4-D ultrasound, you can see pictures, and video of your baby
before he or she is born. The images provided by this high-tech
equipment are detailed beyond anything available up to this
time. Now you can see your baby, in real time, in motion,
BEFORE he or she is born!
Take advantage of
our wonderful packages to share with friends, and family.
You can use them as announcements, or even as a Holiday card.
Dr. Banias and Genesis OB/GYN is one of the few physicians
and OB/GYN offices that own the latest GE 3-D/4-D
ultrasound machine (Voluson 730). He is currently one of
the only physicians who offer 3-D/4-D images to patients.
The following information is provided for patients who
wish to receive 3-D/4-D images.
• Dr. Banias offers this service to all expecting mothers
as long as they agree to bear the expense of the exam. Dr.
Banias does provide this service to all of his patients
free of charge.
• The recommended time for 3-D imaging is in between 27 to
30 weeks gestation. At this time the fetus has a
substantial amount of fat on its body and the images tend
to turn out at a higher quality than at an earlier
gestation. After the recommended time the images are more
difficult to obtain due to the decreased amount of
amniotic fluid. Dr. Banias' office will not attempt 3-D
images before the fetus is at least 18 weeks gestation.
• The patient must have previously received a documented,
diagnostic ultrasound before receiving a 3-D/4-D
ultrasound. The diagnostic ultrasound can be
preformed by Dr. Banias' staff with a written referral
from the patient's physician. The cost of the diagnostic
ultrasound will then be submitted to the patient's
insurance company. The cost of the 3-D ultrasound will still be the
responsibly of the patient.
• Dr. Banias' staff reserves the right to decide whether
or not the ultrasound pictures are satisfactory. It is up
to the baby's cooperation for the quality of the images.
If the images are unsatisfactory to the ultrasonographer,
the ultrasonographer will then decide whether or not to
reschedule for a follow-up appointment. There is no
guarantee of perfect images.
