Anomaly Scan

It is a type of ultrasound that allows a four-dimensional view of the baby's hands, feet and face in the womb. The purpose of this type of ultrasound is to detect many abnormalities that may occur in the baby or to show that the baby is healthy.

What is the Difference Between Anomaly Scanning and Advanced Ultrasonography (Detailed
Ultrasound, Detailed Ultrasound)?

Anomaly screening is an ultrasound examination performed to determine whether there is any physical deviation (disability) in the baby in a normal pregnancy without risk.
When a suspected condition is revealed in the baby during anomaly scanning, the ultrasound examination performed by a perinatologist (risky pregnancy specialist) to clarify this suspected condition is advanced ultrasonography.
Advanced ultrasonography (Detailed ultrasound - Detailed ultrasound) is an ultrasonographic evaluation performed by a Perinatologist (risky pregnancy specialist) for the definitive diagnosis and treatment of a possible condition in the baby of a baby from a risky pregnancy or a baby that looks suspicious in the anomaly scan.

How Should a Good Advanced Ultrasonography (Detailed Ultrasound, Detailed Ultrasound) Be Performed?

In addition to using an ultrasound device with superior technical features, the most important thing is to have an experienced Perinatologist (risky pregnancy specialist) who is specialized in this field and can evaluate the ultrasound image and interpret the result. It is ideal for detailed ultrasound to be performed by people who have special training and expertise in this field (perinatologists). Otherwise, inadequate interpretation of the results may lead to consequences more dire than the findings.

How to Perform Anomaly Scanning?

Anomaly screening is actually examining and measuring all the details of the baby by taking detailed ultrasonography. Fetal anomaly screening at 18-23 weeks of pregnancy. It is done between weeks. It is a special ultrasound examination in which the baby's organs are visualized in detail in the womb.

In this ultrasound examination, organs and systems are examined in detail:

• Fetal brain tissue, especially the central nervous system
• Face, lips, eyes and eye area
• Heart and all major vessels
• Rib cage and lungs
• Diaphragm
• Anterior wall of the abdomen
• Gastrointestinal system
• Kidneys and bladder
• Spine
• Arms and legs
• Hands and feet
• Entire skeletal system
• Placenta
• Umbilical cord
• Amount of amniotic fluid

As a result of all these examinations, it is understood whether all the baby's organs and systems are normal.
