Nuchal Translucency (NT) Scan

This is used in the assessment of the risk of Down’s Syndrome and other chromosomal abnormalities. Extensive research has established that Nuchal Translucency (NT) can detect 70% of affected fetuses.

The combination of, NT scan and mother's blood tests for free Beta-HCG and PAPP-A improves the rate of detection by up to 90%.

Growth and Well-being Scans

These scans aim to assess how well the baby is growing. Placental location, amniotic fluid volume, umbilical artery and uterine arterial Doppler can assess blood flow to detect early intrauterine growth retardation.

3D/4D Scans

4D scans are really 3D scans taken in real-time. They create dramatic life-like views of your baby moving inside you. 4D scans enable your baby’s activity and well being to be studied in greater detail. 4D scans can aid in the confirmation of normal development. Your baby’s face can be seen best between 23 and 30 weeks into pregnancy.

4D scans can give you a unique opportunity to bond with your unborn baby.

Fetal Anomaly (FA) Scan

Between 18 to 24 weeks into pregnancy, the FA scan examines in detail the brain, face, spine, heart, stomach, bowel, kidneys and limbs to ensure normal growth. It may be conducted also to check the placental position. Uterine blood flow and umbilical studies can be performed for those with a problematic obstetric history.
