Anomaly Scan
An anomaly scan, also known as a mid-pregnancy or detailed anatomy scan, is an important prenatal ultrasound performed between 18 to 22 weeks of pregnancy. This scan provides a comprehensive assessment of the baby’s growth and physical development.
It helps in evaluating the structure of vital organs and body parts, allowing early detection of congenital conditions and major anatomical abnormalities. The scan also monitors the position of the placenta, amniotic fluid levels, and overall fetal well-being.
