2. Is this a diagnostic ultrasound examination?No, this is not a diagnostic ultrasound examination. Sandcastle Sonography, Inc. offers an elective prenatal ultrasound to provide families with a positive bonding experience with their unborn child. This does not take the place of a medical diagnostic ultrasound ordered by a licensed practitioner. Clients seeking an appointment for a 3D ultrasound with Sandcastle Sonography, Inc. must be under the care of a licensed practitioner and have already received a medical diagnostic examination. We are not screening the fetus for basic fetal anatomy or fetal anomalies. Sandcastle Sonography, Inc. is using the 3D prenatal ultrasound to provide a realistic image of the unborn baby. Back to Top

7. Will I always get a beautiful image of my baby?Usually we are able to capture a wonderful surface image of the baby's face. However, if the baby's position is not conducive for a good image, it may not be possible to obtain a realistic facial image. If this occurs, we will perform a repeat scan at a later time. This normally corrects the problem because the baby has moved into a favorable position. Every unborn baby is different and unique; we will make every effort to obtain the best possible images for you. Back to Top
