Ultrasound Accreditation

We are proud to announce that our practice has been awarded our fifth consecutive accreditation by the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine. A practice must reapply for accreditation every three years.

We achieved this recognition by meeting rigorous voluntary guidelines set by the diagnostic ultrasound profession. During the accreditation process all facets of our ultrasound department were assessed including the training and qualifications of physicians and sonographers, ultrasound equipment maintenance, documentation and record-keeping practices, quality assurance methods, as well as the thoroughness, technical quality and interpretation of the sonograms we perform.

Dr. Charlene Case, Director of the Ultrasound Department at Baystate Ob/Gyn Group, Inc. commented that “Achieving this accreditation is an important indication of the high quality care we provide for our patients. When indicated, our state-of-the-art ultrasound technology allows us to integrate detailed images captured by ultrasound in the care and treatment of our patients. To have this technology in our office including 3D and 4D capabilities is a great convenience for our patients and an irreplaceable clinical tool for our practitioners.”

For your convenience, we offer obstetric and gynecologic ultrasonography services in our Springfield office.  Having this capability "in-house" allows our physicians prompt access to your ultrasound results; this is especially important if further action is necessary.
