With the use of state-of-the-art technology, our team at Women’s
Health at Valley View can provide ultrasounds and sonograms for detailed
images of your reproductive organs for various purposes throughout your
life. During an ultrasound, the sound waves create the sonogram, a flat,
2D image of your reproductive system or baby. At our Glenwood Springs,
Basalt, and Silt, CO locations, we also offer 3D and 4D ultrasounds along
with the traditional forms to provide patients with the treatment method
that is best for their needs. These more advanced imaging options can
allow our team to identify certain complications, as well as birth defects
and abnormalities developed prior to birth. Contact our facility to learn
more or to schedule your initial consultation with one of our skilled
OB/GYN specialists.
Treatment Details
At Women’s Health at Valley View, there are several options for the
types of ultrasounds that may be performed for diagnostic purposes or
during pregnancy. As a noninvasive procedure, an ultrasound can produce
imaging that can be used to ensure optimal health for women, as well as
to monitor the development of your baby and your pregnancy’s progression.
The types of ultrasounds we offer include:
Pelvic ultrasound: performed on the vaginal area and abdomen
Transabdominal ultrasound: performed on the abdomen and provides a 2D picture
3D ultrasound: offers an improved visual over a standard ultrasound and can detect certain
birth defects
4D ultrasound: produces a video of the baby in the womb
Doppler ultrasound: used to assess the fetus’s blood vessels after a diagnosis of gestational diabetes
Transvaginal ultrasound: a “wand” or transducer is inserted into the vagina to provide
an image during the early stages of pregnancy
What to Expect
Prior to any type of diagnostic imaging, a member of our team will explain
the process in detail so that you know what to expect. We may choose to
perform an ultrasound or sonogram to ensure optimal health following an
abnormal pap smear or during your pregnancy to keep a close eye on the
development of your baby. At Women’s Health at Valley View, we understand
that you may desire to have your loved ones alongside you during a pregnancy-related
ultrasound. If you desire to have your family members present during your
ultrasound appointment, we encourage that you only invite the immediate
family in limited numbers. We always work with you to provide the appropriate
accommodations for you and your family during your ultrasound appointment.

With advanced imaging technology and techniques, our team at Women’s
