Fetal Medicine: Essential Imaging During Pregnancy

Fetal medicine imaging is a vital part of prenatal care, helping monitor the growth and development of your baby throughout pregnancy.

Key Pregnancy Scans

First Trimester (11-13 weeks) - Dating scan to confirm gestational age - NT (Nuchal Translucency) scan for chromosomal screening - Early detection of multiple pregnancies

Second Trimester (18-22 weeks) - Detailed anatomy scan (anomaly scan) - Assessment of all major organ systems - Placental position evaluation

Third Trimester - Growth assessment and biometry - Doppler studies for blood flow evaluation - Assessment of amniotic fluid and fetal well-being
