Maternal-Fetal Medicine
We provide healthcare systems with MFM sonographers who are specially trained to support all types of high-risk pregnancies with high-quality diagnostic imaging.
Advanced Ultrasound for High-Risk Pregnancies
Precision and compassion matter most when pregnancies become complex. For patients facing risks like advanced maternal age, fetal anomalies, or multiple gestations, our sonographers deliver the clarity providers need to make confident decisions. They also offer critical insight when maternal health concerns—such as hypertension or gestational diabetes—require closer monitoring.
Expert Care with Exceptional Reach
Only about 4% of OB sonographers in the U.S. are FE-certified.
At BB Imaging, we exceed expectations by providing advanced training in high-risk obstetrics and supporting our sonographers as they pursue fetal echocardiography certification through ARDMS. Through our expansive and connected network, these specialists deliver high-quality imaging in urban and rural communities, collaborating with in-person or remote MFM physicians to ensure consistent, patient-centered care.
