Carnegie Imaging | Hospital |
Practice locations are fully certified units by the AIUM | Most, but not all ultrasound centers have this certification |
All of Carnegie’s medical staff are fully Board Eligible or Board Certified Maternal Fetal Medicine Specialists. | Many centers have physicians in training or radiologists reading scans |
All sonographers are fully certified by the RDMS, and have advanced certification in first trimester screening and cervical length assessments. | It is uncommon for a units to have 100% of their sonography staff fully certified |
Onsite laboratory for ultrasound related blood testing. | You may need to travel to other locations for services. |
Onsite genetic counseling with same day appointments when unexpected findings are encountered | Most sites refer out to genetic counselors as needed and patients need to wait days/weeks for appointments |
We are experts in BOTH imaging diagnosis AND counseling regarding management of difficult cases. | Traditional radiology centers only provide diagnoses |
Expertise in invasive testing (amnio/CVS/PUBS). When required we can do these tests (& required genetic counseling) on a same day basis with next day rapid results. | Most centers have patients schedule their procedure and genetic counseling for a future date – the process could take 7-10 days minimally. |
Individualized compassionate care with direct access to physicians. Patients speak directly to MFM experts after every scan. | In most units, patients do not see the MFM unless there’s a problem. |
Onsite fetal echocardiography imaging capability | Very few centers have the required expertise to provide these sophisticated scans. |
State of the art 3D/4D imaging capability in all rooms and machines. | Most units are only partially equipped with state of the art instrumentation. |
Patients can get digital keepsake images from their scans sent to the smart phones to share immediately with friends, family and social media. | It’s hard to find another unit that offers that service. |
