This scan is performed to confirm the viability of the pregnancy, assess the gestational age, and check for the presence of a foetal heartbeat.m

Dating Scan (8-22 Weeks)

Anomaly Scan (18-24 Weeks)

Also known as the mid-pregnancy scan, this detailed scan evaluates the baby's anatomy and development, checking for any structural abnormalities or markers of genetic conditions.

Presentation Scan (36-40 Weeks)

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an ultrasound scan?

An ultrasound scan, also known as a sonogram, uses high-frequency sound waves to create images of the inside of the body. It is commonly used in medicine to view organs, tissues, and other structures and is widely known for its use in pregnancy to check the health and development of the baby.

Is an ultrasound safe?

Yes, ultrasound scans are generally considered safe. They do not use radiation, like X-rays. The sound waves used in an ultrasound are not harmful to humans and have been used safely in medicine for many years.

How should I prepare for an ultrasound?

Preparation for an ultrasound can vary depending on the type of scan. Some scans may require you to fast for several hours, while others might need you to have a full bladder. Your medical provider will give you specific instructions based on the type of ultrasound you are having.

Can ultrasound scans detect all health issues?

While ultrasound scans are a useful diagnostic tool, they do not detect all health conditions. Some issues may be better diagnosed through other imaging techniques like MRI or CT scans, depending on the nature of the problem and the area of the body being examined.

How long does an ultrasound take?

Most ultrasound exams take between 30 minutes to an hour. However, the duration can vary depending on the area being examined and the complexity of the scan needed.
