Anomaly Scan
Anomaly Scan in Pune
As the name suggests this is a targeted scan performed ideally at 18-24 weeks. The aim is to study all the structures & organs of the baby & assess the baby for any structural abnormality. The study also focuses on screening for chromosomal abnormalities by looking for “Soft Markers“. A basic yet an in-depth examination of fetal heart is an integral part of this scan. Reassessment of risk of pre-eclampsia and FGR is also performed during this scan by assessing the uterine artery Doppler parameters.
An early anomaly scan between 16-18 weeks may be indicated in some cases where an abnormality is suspected in the first trimester or in cases with previous history of fetalabnormalities.
Second trimester Quadruple marker test (Serum screening)is just like the first trimester Double marker test & can be performed in case of missed first trimester screening.
