Advancing Women’s Imaging Excellence Across Central Ohio

The Columbus metropolitan area has steadily emerged as a leader in women’s health innovation—where academic excellence, integrated care networks, and independent practice expertise converge to elevate imaging quality and patient-centered access. Across obstetrics, gynecology, breast care, and fertility, providers throughout Central Ohio are leveraging advanced ultrasound and multimodal imaging to deliver more precise, connected, and compassionate care.

For imaging professionals, the region represents an ideal intersection of research, technology, and real-world clinical collaboration—where academic medical centers, health systems, and specialty practices work hand in hand to refine imaging standards and improve outcomes for women across the Midwest.

Preferred Medical proudly partners with clinicians and health systems throughout Ohio and the broader Midwest, providing ultrasound solutions that empower OB/GYNs, maternal-fetal medicine specialists, fertility centers, and breast imaging programs with the clarity and confidence needed to support every patient and every stage of care.

The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center

Location: Columbus, OH

The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center stands as the region’s flagship for academic excellence in women’s imaging. Its Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology integrates cutting-edge ultrasound and MRI technologies within dedicated centers for maternal-fetal medicine, reproductive endocrinology, and gynecologic oncology.

At the Comprehensive Fetal Diagnostics Center, advanced 3D and 4D ultrasound, Doppler imaging, and fetal echocardiography enable early detection of congenital and placental anomalies. Multidisciplinary teams—including perinatologists, neonatologists, and genetic counselors—collaborate in real time to guide prenatal and perinatal care decisions.

The institution’s commitment to translational research continues to shape new imaging applications in ovarian pathology, endometriosis, and uterine fibroid mapping. Through partnerships with technology innovators and medical imaging manufacturers, OSU Wexner drives forward the role of ultrasound in precision obstetrics and gynecology.

OhioHealth

Locations: Riverside Methodist Hospital, Grant Medical Center, Dublin Methodist Hospital, and community imaging centers throughout Central Ohio

As one of the largest integrated health systems in the region, OhioHealth delivers a seamless network of women’s imaging services across hospitals and outpatient sites. Its Women’s Health Imaging Program focuses on uniform imaging standards and cross-site collaboration—ensuring diagnostic consistency from urban Columbus to surrounding suburban and rural locations.

Riverside Methodist Hospital houses a leading Maternal-Fetal Medicine program, offering high-resolution ultrasound, amniocentesis guidance, and early fetal assessment. Meanwhile, OhioHealth’s breast centers provide digital breast tomosynthesis (3D mammography), automated breast ultrasound (ABUS), and contrast-enhanced breast MRI.

OhioHealth’s patient-first model integrates scheduling, results reporting, and imaging archives into a unified digital ecosystem, enhancing both efficiency and continuity of care. The system’s dedication to accessibility allows patients to receive advanced diagnostics close to home, without compromising quality or expertise.

Mount Carmel Health System (Trinity Health)

Locations: Mount Carmel East, Mount Carmel Grove City, Mount Carmel St. Ann’s, and outpatient imaging centers

Mount Carmel Health System has cultivated a strong reputation for compassionate, technology-forward women’s care. Through its Mount Carmel Women’s Health Center and Perinatal Diagnostic Services, the system provides a full suite of ultrasound capabilities—including advanced fetal imaging, gynecologic Doppler studies, and pelvic floor assessments.

The health system emphasizes imaging standardization across its multiple hospitals and clinics, allowing patients to experience the same diagnostic precision and care quality wherever they are seen. Mount Carmel’s partnership with Trinity Health’s national imaging initiatives further strengthens operational consistency and fosters continuous sonographer training across Ohio locations.

In breast health, Mount Carmel’s accredited centers feature breast ultrasound and elastography for early lesion characterization and biopsy guidance, contributing to more personalized, minimally invasive diagnostic pathways.

Nationwide Children’s Hospital

Location: Columbus, OH

Recognized among the nation’s top pediatric hospitals, Nationwide Children’s Hospital plays a critical role in advancing imaging for maternal-fetal and adolescent women’s health. The hospital’s Fetal Medicine Program collaborates closely with obstetric providers across Central Ohio to support complex pregnancies and fetal interventions.

High-resolution fetal ultrasound and MRI allow early, detailed evaluation of structural and chromosomal anomalies. The imaging team works side-by-side with pediatric surgeons, cardiologists, and genetic specialists to guide delivery planning and postnatal management.

Nationwide’s ongoing research in pediatric and adolescent gynecology imaging—covering ovarian masses, congenital anomalies, and menstrual disorders—helps set national benchmarks for safe, age-specific imaging practices.

Central Ohio Primary Care (COPC) and Associated Women’s Health Practices

Locations: Multiple offices throughout the Columbus metropolitan area

Independent and physician-led groups remain vital to regional imaging access. Central Ohio Primary Care (COPC) and its affiliated OB/GYN and fertility practices exemplify how private practices are adopting in-office ultrasound to enhance continuity, speed, and patient comfort.

Practices such as Comprehensive Women’s Care, Mid-Ohio OB/GYN, and Columbus OB/GYN integrate portable and console-based ultrasound systems from leading manufacturers including Philips, Mindray, and Alpinion—facilitating everything from first-trimester scans and follicular monitoring to pelvic pain evaluations and IUD localization.

These community-based providers ensure that women across Central Ohio receive timely, accurate imaging in a familiar and supportive setting—reducing referral delays and strengthening physician-patient relationships.

SpringCreek Fertility

Location: Dayton, OH, with regional reach across Central and Western Ohio

As one of the region’s premier fertility centers, SpringCreek Fertility demonstrates the central role of ultrasound in reproductive medicine. Every stage of treatment—from ovarian stimulation and follicular tracking to egg retrieval and embryo transfer—is guided by high-resolution transvaginal and 3D ultrasound imaging.

The practice’s investment in diagnostic precision and sonographer training ensures consistency across its programs and enhances patient experience during emotionally sensitive care journeys. With growing demand for fertility services throughout Ohio, centers like SpringCreek are expanding the availability of advanced imaging outside of major metropolitan hospitals.

Regional Trends in Women’s Health Imaging: Integration, Innovation, and Access

Across Columbus and its surrounding communities, several defining trends are shaping the future of women’s imaging:
