Procedures and Diagnostic Services
Detailed Anomaly Scan
A comprehensive ultrasound performed between 18 to 22 weeks of pregnancy to evaluate your baby's organs and overall development.
This scan assesses fetal anatomy and growth at the recommended stage of pregnancy. Not all abnormalities can be detected by ultrasound, and further tests may be advised depending on the findings.
4D Ultrasound
Provides a real-time, three-dimensional view of your baby in the womb.
Depending on the clinical indication, 3D or 4D ultrasound may provide additional visual information. The appropriate imaging method should be determined by the treating clinician.
Foetal Doppler Studies
Assesses blood flow between the mother, placenta, and baby.
Doppler studies assess blood-flow patterns when clinically indicated. The findings are interpreted alongside other clinical information to guide any further assessment or management.
Amniocentesis
An invasive prenatal diagnostic procedure that may be offered in selected circumstances to investigate certain chromosomal or genetic conditions after counselling about its benefits, limitations, and risks.
It is performed under expert guidance after detailed counselling.
Growth Scan (Foetal Growth Monitoring)
Tracks your baby's growth and development throughout pregnancy.
The scan provides information about fetal growth at the time of assessment. Your clinician will interpret the results in the context of your pregnancy.
High-Risk Pregnancy Care
Foetal medicine assessment or additional monitoring may be considered for pregnancies involving:
- Diabetes or hypertension
- Previous pregnancy complications
- Suspected fetal abnormalities
- IVF pregnancies
- Multiple pregnancies (twins or more)
