At the Imaging Institute in Obstetrics and Gynecology, you'll find a team of highly skilled professionals, including the best doctors in their field in Israel. Our team utilizes state-of-the-art equipment, including the most advanced ultrasound devices in the world.
The doctors at the institute offer advice, guidance, and monitoring for pregnancies where there are concerns about structural defects in the fetus or fetal conditions requiring intrauterine intervention.
The institute collaborates closely with the experts of the Safra Children's Hospital in Sheba. Patients are examined by both the doctors of the unit and pediatricians specializing in children's diseases and defects. Female patients receive comprehensive counselling, including expert genetic counselling and guidance on any necessary surgical procedures for the child after birth. This helps them make informed decisions about managing their pregnancy.
Institute units
The Obstetric Ultrasound Unit
The Obstetric Ultrasound Unit is dedicated to diagnosing fetal malformations using ultrasound tests and other imaging methods, including MRI or specialized CT scans. In numerous instances, examinations of the fetus conducted by doctors at the institute have resulted in a revision of the initial diagnosis made in the community. Sometimes, it has even influenced the parents' decisions about managing the pregnancy.
The Fetal Medicine unit
In the Fetal Medicine unit, we perform intrauterine treatments to cure or improve the condition of the fetus. Each year, our unit carries out dozens of life-saving intrauterine treatments for fetuses.
The Gynecology Ultrasound unit
In the Gynecology Ultrasound unit, we welcome both pregnant and non-pregnant women who visit with significant gynecological concerns. Our dedicated team of skilled professionals utilizes ultrasound tests to provide accurate diagnoses.
Teratology clinic
The clinic for teratology counseling provides drug counseling during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
