Valley Baby packages range from $75.00 to $300.00

Although Valley MRI & Radiology Inc. is a full Medical Diagnostic Ultrasound Imaging Facility, currently no insurance companies cover 3D/4D fetal ultrasound imaging.  Any 3D/4D imaging will be at the expense of the patient.  Please ask about our discounted pricing when combined with a diagnostic medical ultrasound.

Extensive medical studies have found that ultrasound has not been shown to cause any harm to mother or baby. Routine scanning of all pregnancies is now a recommended and normal procedure. 3D/4D ultrasound scanning uses exactly the same type and intensity of ultrasound as conventional 2D diagnostic ultrasound scanning. All use sound waves to look inside the body. As with 2D scanning, a non-invasive probe placed on the abdomen emits sound waves and absorbs the return echo but the technology that receives and interprets the return echo is greatly improved to generate high quality 3-dimensional photo and 4-dimensional video images.

Valley MRI & Radiology Inc. is a full Medical Diagnostic Ultrasound Imaging Facility. We only have experienced Diagnostic Medical Sonographers who are certified in conventional 2D ultrasound scanning and then further trained to perform 3D obstetrical ultrasounds. Our medical sonographers have been scanning collectively for over 40 years and have performed thousands of scans. In the unlikely event that a potential abnormality is found during an exam only the mother’s physician, not the mother, will receive the diagnostic report. The physician will then contact the mother to discuss the report.

In most cases you will. Only 1% to 2% of the babies “misbehave” and have to return for a repeat visit. Some babies are persistently positioned looking down or facing towards the spine which makes it difficult to see the baby’s face. When this happens we may ask that you roll on your left side or right side or do other maneuvers during the scan to optimize the view. Every baby scans differently depending on gestational age, position, amount of fluid, placental location and characteristics of the mother’s body. We promise to make every effort to obtain the best images of your baby. We offer discounted Valley Baby Packages for returning clients.

We understand that your time is as valuable as our time. We recommend setting aside 25 to 30 minutes for your appointment. Your session length is determined by the Valley Baby Package you choose. The scans for our Emerald and Platinum packages are longer than the scans for our Ruby and other packages. We request that you and your guests arrive 10 minutes early. You will need to check in and complete paperwork before your scan. Arriving early will help us to start on time.

Absolutely! We encourage you to share your Valley Baby experience with anyone you would like. Due to current restrictions only 1 adult guest is allowed to attend the appointment with you. This is your ultrasound and we know it is very exciting welcoming a new little one. Please call our office for any questions on our current policies.

You will walk out of your appointment with all of your precious photos and videos included in your package on DVD and USB thumb drive. (Note: if you have purchased the Platinum package that includes 2 visits and DVD video, you will receive your DVD after your second visit)
