Ultrasonogram of Foetal Anomaly Scan Price in Bangladesh

What is Ultrasonogram of Foetal Anomaly Scan?

An Ultrasonogram of a Fetal Anomaly Scan, also known as the 20-week anomaly scan, is a detailed ultrasound performed during pregnancy to assess the development and health of the fetus. It helps identify any physical abnormalities or structural issues, such as heart defects, spinal problems, or limb abnormalities.

Typically done between 18-22 weeks of pregnancy, this scan also checks the position of the placenta and the amount of amniotic fluid. Preparation generally involves drinking water beforehand for better imaging.

It is non-invasive with minimal risks. Results help doctors make informed decisions about managing the pregnancy and any necessary interventions.

What to expect & how to prepare

An ultrasound scan uses high-frequency sound waves to look at organs, vessels or a pregnancy in real time. A sonologist applies gel to the skin and moves a probe over the area. Nothing is injected.

• Preparation varies by body part: some scans need a full bladder, some need a few hours without food, and many need nothing at all. Ask the centre which applies to your scan when you book.
• Clothing: wear something loose that gives easy access to the area being scanned.
• Bring earlier reports: previous scans help the sonologist compare findings.

Ultrasound uses no ionising radiation, which is why it is the routine choice in pregnancy.

Performed by a sonologist or radiologist; most centres ask for the referring doctor's advice so the right area is scanned.
