Fetal Anomaly Scans

Fetal anomaly scans, also known as targeted ultrasound scans, are specialized imaging tests performed during pregnancy, usually between 18 and 22 weeks. These scans check the developing fetus for potential physical abnormalities or congenital conditions. The ultrasound uses sound waves to create images of the fetus, allowing healthcare providers to assess its growth, monitor its organs, and identify any structural issues. This information helps in planning appropriate care or interventions, if necessary, and provides expecting parents valuable insights into their baby’s health.
