Early Pregnancy Scan (6–10 Weeks)
This scan confirms an intrauterine pregnancy, detects fetal cardiac activity, and accurately determines gestational age.
It also helps identify early complications such as ectopic pregnancy or subchorionic hematoma and determines chorionicity in multiple pregnancies.
Usually performed via transvaginal ultrasound for better visualization.
Duration: 10–15 minutes
NT Scan / First Trimester Screening (11–13+6 Weeks)
NT Scan helps assess the risk of chromosomal abnormalities such as Down syndrome (Trisomy 21), Trisomy 18, and Trisomy 13.
Measurements include nuchal translucency, nasal bone assessment, cardiac blood flow, and early fetal anatomy evaluation.
It is combined with Dual Marker testing for accurate risk calculation.
Duration: 20–30 minutes
TIFFA / Anomaly Scan (18–22 Weeks)
A detailed scan to detect structural fetal anomalies involving the brain, heart, spine, kidneys, limbs, and abdominal organs.
Placental position, amniotic fluid levels, fetal biometry, and cervical length are also evaluated.
Duration: 30–45 minutes
Growth & Well-Being Scan (After 28 Weeks)
Monitors fetal growth using BPD, HC, AC, and FL measurements.
Doppler studies assess placental blood flow and fetal well-being, especially in high-risk pregnancies.
Duration: 15–20 minutes
Fetal Echocardiography
A specialized ultrasound to assess fetal heart structure and function, usually performed between 18–24 weeks.
Recommended in cases of diabetes, family history of heart defects, increased NT, or abnormal screening results.
Duration: 30–45 minutes
Multifetal Pregnancy Monitoring
Twin and multiple pregnancies require more frequent ultrasound monitoring due to higher risk of complications.
Important Note: NT and anomaly scans may take longer depending on fetal position. Please plan your schedule accordingly for optimal evaluation.
