Fetal Anomaly Scan & Prenatal Ultrasound

The anomaly scan is typically done between roughly 18 and 22 weeks of pregnancy - early enough that findings can still guide further evaluation and decision-making, and late enough that fetal structures are developed enough to assess clearly.

The scan checks fetal growth and measurements, the amount of amniotic fluid, placental position, and the structure of major organ systems, and screens for physical markers that can be associated with chromosomal or genetic conditions.

Shraddha Women's Hospital's Voluson S8 system includes dedicated 3D and 4D imaging capability. Where clinically useful, this provides additional structural detail beyond standard 2D imaging - Dr. Mody completed hands-on training specifically in 3D-4D ultrasound at Dr. Nagori's Institute for Infertility & IVF, Ahmedabad (FOGSI-recognised, September 2019).

Most anomaly scans are reassuring. If a finding needs a closer look, the next step is usually a more detailed, targeted scan and, where relevant, a fetal medicine consultation to interpret it in context.
