Overview of the Practice

NYU Obstetrical and Gynecological Ultrasound Unit is a world-class diagnostic referral center. The director, Ilan Timor-Tritsch, MD and Ana Monteagudo, MD, the Associate Director, are internationally recognized experts in obstetrical and gynecological ultrasound.

The purpose of this diagnostic center is to identify potential obstetrical, medical or fetal problems at an early enough point in the pregnancy to maximize the likelihood of a healthy child and to furnish clinically relevant diagnoses of gynecologic diseases. The unit is staffed by highly-trained sonographers, as well as maternal-fetal medicine specialists (perinatologists), who provide coverage.

The unit has state-of-the-art 2 and 3 dimensional ultrasound equipment complete with computer networking and automated report faxing to provide comprehensive obstetrical and gynecological ultrasound services. The ultrasound unit is accredited by the Accreditation Commission of the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine to perform the ultrasound exams, as well as by the Fetal Medicine Foundation to perform early fetal comprehensive testing (nuchal translucency and biochemical testing).
