Introduction
The 2D/3D/4D Anomaly Scan, also known as the mid-pregnancy scan or anatomy scan, is an essential diagnostic procedure typically performed between the 18th and 22nd weeks of pregnancy. This scan is critical for assessing the structural development of the fetus and identifying any congenital anomalies.
Key Functions
The 2D/3D/4D Anomaly Scan provides a comprehensive view of the fetus and is crucial for detailed prenatal assessment. Here’s why this scan is essential:
- The scan provides a thorough examination of the baby’s anatomy, including the brain, spine, heart, kidneys, and limbs. It checks for any physical abnormalities and ensures that the organs are developing as expected.
- The 2D/3D/4D scan is instrumental in detecting congenital conditions such as spina bifida, heart defects, cleft lip, and other structural abnormalities. Early detection allows for better planning and management of the pregnancy, including preparing for any necessary interventions after birth.
- The scan also evaluates the position of the placenta, which is crucial for ensuring that the baby receives adequate nutrients and oxygen. Placenta previa or other placental issues can be identified and monitored closely.
