Detailed (Anomaly) Ultrasound
A systematic fetal anomaly scan of the baby's organ development at 20–24 weeks, performed at our clinic in Bakırköy, Istanbul.
What Is a Detailed Ultrasound?
The detailed ultrasound is the most comprehensive pregnancy ultrasound examination, in which the baby's organ development is evaluated systematically. It is usually performed between weeks 20 and 24 of pregnancy.
What Is Evaluated in This Examination
- ◆Brain and facial structures
- ◆Cardiac anatomy
- ◆Spine
- ◆Intra-abdominal organs
- ◆Kidneys and bladder
- ◆Extremities
- ◆Placenta and amniotic fluid
Our Approach to the Detailed Ultrasound
The detailed ultrasound is not simply about capturing images; it aims to evaluate the baby's development as a whole.
- ◆Organ systems are examined systematically according to standard protocols
- ◆Doppler assessments are performed when needed
- ◆Sufficient time is set aside for the examination
- ◆The images are evaluated live, directly by a radiologist
About 4D Imaging
The detailed ultrasound is fundamentally a diagnostic evaluation. 4D ultrasound images are not part of the diagnostic examination; they are additional images offered to families for visual purposes when the baby is in a suitable position.
What Makes Our Clinic Different
During the detailed ultrasound at our clinic, not only the baby is evaluated: with the mother's health in mind, thyroid and whole abdomen ultrasound examinations for the mother are also included in the assessment.
