At CIMAR’s Feto-Maternal Department, we offer advanced anomaly scans to provide comprehensive assessments of fetal health during pregnancy. Our anomaly scan, also known as a mid-pregnancy ultrasound, is a vital step in ensuring the well-being of both mother and baby.
During the anomaly scan, our highly skilled team of obstetricians and ultrasonographers utilize state-of-the-art ultrasound technology to conduct a detailed examination of your baby’s anatomy. This thorough assessment typically takes place between 18 to 22 weeks of pregnancy, offering a crucial window for detecting any potential abnormalities or developmental issues.
Key Aspects Covered:
- Fetal Anatomy: We meticulously examine your baby’s developing organs and structures, including the brain, heart, spine, kidneys, limbs, and more, ensuring they are forming correctly and functioning as expected.
- Placenta and Amniotic Fluid: We assess the position and health of the placenta, as well as the volume of amniotic fluid surrounding your baby, to ensure optimal conditions for fetal growth and development.
- Fetal Growth: We measure your baby’s size and growth rate, comparing these measurements to standard gestational age parameters to ensure healthy progress throughout your pregnancy.
- Uterine and Cervical Health: We also evaluate the health of your uterus and cervix, checking for any abnormalities or signs of complications that may affect your pregnancy.
Compassionate Care and Expert Guidance:
At CIMAR, we understand the importance of providing compassionate care and expert guidance throughout your pregnancy journey. Our dedicated team is committed to supporting you every step of the way, offering personalized attention and answering any questions or concerns you may have.
DOPPLER STUDY
- Assess Placental Function: The Doppler study evaluates blood flow in the placenta, ensuring it is functioning effectively to provide oxygen and nutrients to the baby. This is crucial for monitoring the baby’s growth and development.
- Monitor Fetal Well-Being: By measuring blood flow in the umbilical artery and other fetal blood vessels, the Doppler study helps assess the baby’s overall health and detect any potential issues early.
- Detect Potential Complications: The study can identify signs of complications such as intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), preeclampsia, or placental insufficiency, allowing for timely intervention and management.
- Guide Clinical Decisions: Results from the Doppler study can assist in making informed decisions about the management of the pregnancy, including planning for additional tests or adjusting treatment strategies.
- Reassure Expectant Parents: For many parents, the Doppler study provides valuable reassurance by confirming that blood flow and fetal development are progressing normally.
