GYNECOLOGY
- Gynecological examination with abdominal-transvaginal ultrasound
The gynecological examination makes use of ultrasound examination as a noninvasive, repeatable investigation with little discomfort for the woman, whether it is performed abdominally or transvaginally the two methods can be used and complement each other. - 3D/4D gynecologic ultrasound
- Liquid-phase Pap test
Liquid-phase cytology, introduced in the "90s, represents an evolution of the classical Pap test.
The examination is aimed at searching for possible infections of bacterial, viral or fungal origin and has shown, compared with classical cytology, a better quality of analysis with a more accurate microscopic reading, capable of increasing the diagnosis of cervical lesions, decreasing the percentage of inadequate or contaminated smears, and reducing the reading time for response. - Ovarian cycle monitoring
Ovulatory cycle monitoring both under physiological conditions and during ovarian stimulation for ovarian and/or endometrial preparation for IVF, by vaginal ultrasound - IUD insertion and removal
- Preconception counseling with 3D/4D ultrasound
Assessment of the couple's medical history, 3D evaluation of uterine cavity morphology, endometrial and ovarian morphology. Personalized setting of gestation
OBSTETRICS
- Screening genetic abnormalities
- Non-invasive techniques
- NIPT (non-invasive prenatal testing)
Counseling and ultrasound with sampling for fetal DNA (from 10 weeks)
Counseling pre and post fetal karyotype result - Combined Test
- The combined first trimester test is a screening test consisting of two separate tests: nuchal translucency ultrasound and a maternal blood draw, where some placental hormones are analyzed.
It is performed in the first trimester, exactly between Sept. 11 and 13 + 6 days, and is used to calculate the risk that the fetus may be carrying chromosomal abnormalities, such as trisomy 21, which is more frequent, and trisomies 13 and 18; in addition, the ultrasound examination can recognize some fetal congenital malformations at an early age.
The combined test is a screening examination, in fact it has no diagnostic purpose, but is a kind of filter, to be used in the obstetric population to detect pregnancies at risk of chromosomal malformations and fetal growth defects. - Ultrasound I trimester
- Premorphologic ultrasound 16-18 weeks
- Morphologic ultrasound 20-22 weeks
- Obstetrical ultrasound 3rd trimester 30-32 weeks
- Growth monitoring with feto-placental doppler
