Specialised Imaging During Pregnancy

Fetal Medicine Services at Orbit Scan Centre provide specialised ultrasound and imaging support during pregnancy. These services focus on assessing fetal growth, anatomy and other pregnancy-related parameters at appropriate stages, according to clinical recommendations.

Pregnancy imaging plays an important role in antenatal care by providing healthcare professionals with information that complements routine clinical assessment.

Pregnancy Imaging Services

Orbit Scan Centre provides pregnancy-related imaging that includes:

• NT Scan
• Anomaly Scan
• Pregnancy ultrasound
• Fetal growth assessment
• Colour Doppler studies
• 4D ultrasound
• Other fetal imaging where clinically indicated

The specific examination recommended depends on the stage of pregnancy, maternal history and the clinical requirements identified by the treating healthcare professional.

NT Scan

An NT (Nuchal Translucency) scan is performed during a specific stage of early pregnancy. It involves ultrasound assessment and measurements that may form part of first-trimester screening.

The results are considered in conjunction with other clinical and screening information where applicable.

Anomaly Scan

An anomaly scan is a detailed ultrasound examination performed during pregnancy to assess fetal anatomy and development. Different anatomical structures are evaluated according to the examination protocol and the stage of pregnancy.

Additional imaging or follow-up may be recommended depending on the findings and clinical situation.

Doppler and 4D Imaging

Colour Doppler may be used when assessment of selected maternal or fetal blood flow is clinically required. 4D ultrasound can provide additional real-time visual perspectives during appropriate pregnancy examinations.

Patient-Focused Pregnancy Imaging

At Orbit Scan Centre, fetal imaging is supported by the centre’s advanced ultrasonography facilities and radiology expertise.

Patients should bring previous pregnancy records, reports and relevant medical documents when attending an examination where advised. Preparation requirements may vary according to the scan.

Through specialised fetal imaging, Orbit Scan Centre supports clinicians and expectant parents with diagnostic information relevant to pregnancy monitoring and ongoing antenatal care.
