ULTRASOUND is a common diagnostic procedure that uses high frequency sound waves to produce pictures of the growing baby. It is used to monitor the baby’s development and check for physical abnormalities.
The following are the scans that can be offered during pregnancy at Diagnostic Healthcare:
Fetal viability scan - To confirm the viability of the pregnancy (6-10 weeks)
Nuchal and nasal bone scan - To look for any major physical defects (11-13.6 weeks)
Fetal anomaly scan - Detailed scan of each baby's organ to ensure normal development (18-24 weeks)
Baby growth scan - Measurements of growth, weight, dates and presentation (24-32 weeks)
3D/4D baby ultrasound scan - Breathtaking moving images of the baby, which can be taken home on DVD (24-32 weeks)
