Thank you for your input, Daniel. I agree completely with you, that if we as sonographers and sonologists give the patients a little bit of what they want, then they wouldn't have a need to find a Fetal Foto type studio. The problem we have in here, though, is that many places that do ultrasound are not patient and family friendly. They might not let family members come in, or they might not show and tell patients what they are seeing on the scan, and they either haven't invested in the 3-D technology or if they have it they don't take the time to try to obtain a nice picture of the face for the parents. So instead of trying to provide an extra service that they might be able to charge for, they try to find reasons why we shouldn't be doing it, like saying that maybe it's dangerous, that most of the public isn't going to believe. It seems to me like the same type of problem that we saw when husbands were first being allowed into delivery rooms.... those that didn't like the idea wanted us to believe that the babies were going to get infected or some other disasters would ensue... but now it's allowed everywhere and we think nothing much about it.

Sorry if I donīt get the real point Why don`t the good US offices, departments, etc.. give the service people are expecting. That will assure the highest quality of the ultrasound That will make the US departments gain a lot of good money In my Country, Argentina, the pregnant families loves coming to US to bond with the baby to come and I asume all over the world is the some story. Why not charge a plus and give them the nice 3D-4D on a CD, VHS, or DVD and nice pictures of the face.

Perhaps I am wrong Sounds like the fight is only for money I believe the fight is for families and fetus rights.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit.
