What is a USG Anomaly Scan? Everything Expecting Parents Should Know


Pregnancy is an exciting journey filled with anticipation and the desire to ensure the best care for your growing baby. One of the most important steps in monitoring your baby’s development is the USG Anomaly Scan. This detailed ultrasound provides critical information about your baby's health and development during the second trimester. Here’s everything you need to know about this essential scan and why Usmanpura Imaging is the ideal choice for expecting parents.



What is a USG Anomaly Scan?

A USG Anomaly Scan, also called a mid-pregnancy ultrasound or Level 2 ultrasound, is a detailed scan typically performed between 18 and 22 weeks of pregnancy. This non-invasive procedure uses high-frequency sound waves to create images of the fetus, allowing healthcare providers to check for any structural abnormalities or developmental concerns.



Purpose of a USG Anomaly Scan:

The primary goal of the anomaly scan is to evaluate the overall growth and well-being of the baby by examining various organs and systems. Here are the key areas it assesses:

  1. Brain and Spine: The scan helps check for neural tube defects such as spina bifida or issues in the brain's development.
  2. Heart: It examines the structure and function of the heart, identifying any congenital heart defects.
  3. Limbs: It checks for proper formation of arms, legs, fingers, and toes.
  4. Face: The scan can detect conditions like cleft lip or cleft palate.
  5. Internal Organs: It monitors the development of major organs like the kidneys, liver, and bladder.
  6. Placenta and Amniotic Fluid: It assesses the position of the placenta and measures amniotic fluid levels to ensure the baby is in a healthy environment.

While the anomaly scan can identify certain conditions, it’s important to remember that it cannot detect every possible abnormality. However, it provides crucial insights that can guide the next steps in pregnancy care.



When is a USG Anomaly Scan Performed?

The USG anomaly scan is typically done between 18 and 22 weeks of pregnancy. This is when the baby’s organs and systems are developed enough to be examined in detail. Performing the scan at this time allows early detection of any potential issues, giving doctors and parents the opportunity to plan further evaluations or interventions if necessary.
