Ultrasound is an imaging modality that uses sound waves transmitted into the body to create a picture of internal structures. Ultrasound can be used to image a baby developing inside the womb and has become a routine part of prenatal care. Most patients will get at least two or three diagnostic ultrasounds throughout their pregnancy.

There were activities for all ages with a house music soundtrack provided by two DJs--John Humphrey and renowned Detroit artist Stacey "Hotwaxx" Hale.
