I'm Dr. Jason Birnholz. I thought I should introduce myself. I did my first ultrasound images when I was a Fellow at the National Institutes of Health in 1968. At that time I was most interested in using the brand new technology to identify early signs of coronary artery disease. I became really interested in fetal development and prenatal diagnosis when I was appointed the Radiologist-in-Chief at the Boston Hospital for Women and Professor at the Harvard Medical School in 1976.

Over the years I have had combined interests in the technology of ultrasound, in how diagnostic examinations and guided needle procedures should be done, and in some specific fetal topics such as growth, behavior, and brain development. I believe in ambulatory, outpatient screening studies with ultrasound. My private practice is DUC - Diagnostic Ultrasound Consultants in Oak Brook, IL, just west of Chicago.
