Of all the diagnostic modalities, it is ultrasound which has no harmful effect on the foetus and therefore ultrasound scan is used extensively during the pregnancy. When a woman becomes pregnant, it can be confirmed with Urine Pregnancy Test around the 3rd week of pregnancy. Beta HCG is a blood test which can confirm pregnancy even at the end of the second week. First ultrasound during pregnancy is done around 6-8 weeks to see the viability of the foetus. Around 16-18 weeks another ultrasound is done which is called Level 2 Ultrasound to rule out any congenital anomalies in the foetus. Scar Thickness, Nuchal Thickness (NT Scan) and Colour Doppler Obstetrical are other ultrasounds which are done during the course of the pregnancy. One Ultrasound is done around the 30th week to see the position of the foetus which determines whether the delivery can be normal or through cesearean section.
Ultrasound during the pregnancy is done to measure the foetal heart rate, estimating the gestational age through length, skull diameter and other parameters of the foetus. Level 2 ultrasound is done to detect any congenital anomaly in the foetus like cleft lip, extra fingers, hydrocephalus etc. In order to get a quality ultrasound the combination of a good 3D Ultrasound Machine and an experienced radiologist is most important. The ultrasound machines at our centre is advanced 3D/4D and all the probes have more than 10000 channels for crystal clear grey scale images.
