Patient Care
The Maternal-Fetal Medicine division provides services at Emory University Hospital Midtown. These services include:
- State-of-the-art ultrasound equipment, including G.E. Voluson 4D ultrasound machines.
- Management of pregnancy complicated by diabetes.
- First and second trimester diagnosis of fetal chromosomal problems, including CVS and amniocentesis.
- Management of multiple pregnancies, e.g. twins and pregnancies in older women.
- Genetic consultation - the work of the division is well integrated with Emory pediatric geneticists who assist in prenatal diagnosis. During the past five years, diagnosis of genetically linked problems has become much more common and sophisticated. These new findings have led to increasingly more effective prenatal interventions, such as utero surgery (performed on the fetus of a pregnant woman).
- Neonatal Intensive Care (NICU) for high-risk newborns - one of only six in the region.
