Types of Pregnancy Ultrasound

Different ultrasound examinations are recommended throughout pregnancy to evaluate your baby's growth, development, and overall well-being. Each scan provides valuable information that helps your obstetrician monitor pregnancy and plan appropriate care.

Early Pregnancy Scan

Confirms pregnancy, identifies the gestational sac, detects the fetal heartbeat, and rules out ectopic pregnancy or early pregnancy complications.

Viability & Dating Scan

Determines fetal viability, accurately estimates gestational age, and calculates the expected date of delivery (EDD).

NT (Nuchal Translucency) Scan

Performed between 11 and 14 weeks to assess the baby's risk for certain chromosomal abnormalities as part of first-trimester screening.

Level II Anomaly Scan

A detailed examination performed between 18 and 22 weeks to evaluate the baby's organs, spine, brain, heart, limbs, and other anatomical structures.

Growth Scan

Monitors fetal growth, estimated weight, placental position, amniotic fluid, and fetal presentation during the third trimester.

Obstetric Doppler

Evaluates blood flow between the mother, placenta, and baby, especially in high-risk pregnancies.

3D / 4D Pregnancy Ultrasound

Provides advanced three-dimensional and real-time visualization of the baby whenever clinically indicated.

Pregnancy ultrasound is a safe and painless procedure performed using high-frequency sound waves. Depending on the stage of pregnancy, either a transabdominal or transvaginal scan may be recommended.

• Review of pregnancy history and doctor's advice.
• Application of water-based ultrasound gel.
• Detailed imaging of the baby and uterus.
• Assessment of fetal heartbeat and movements.
• Measurement of fetal growth and development.
• Evaluation of placenta and amniotic fluid.
