Advanced Prenatal Ultrasound for Early Genetic Risk Assessment
Genetic Sonography is a specialized prenatal ultrasound performed to identify ultrasound markers that may indicate an increased risk of certain genetic or chromosomal conditions in the developing baby. At Sattva The Fetal Medicine Centre, we provide comprehensive Genetic Sonography using advanced ultrasound technology, detailed fetal anatomical assessment, and evidence-based maternal-fetal medicine care to support informed pregnancy decisions.
What is Genetic Sonography?
Genetic Sonography is a detailed ultrasound examination performed during pregnancy to evaluate specific fetal anatomical features and ultrasound markers that may be associated with chromosomal abnormalities or genetic conditions.
Rather than providing a diagnosis, Genetic Sonography helps assess risk and determines whether additional investigations or genetic counselling may be beneficial.
It is often performed alongside prenatal screening tests to provide a more comprehensive assessment of your baby's health, allowing timely recommendations for further evaluation and personalized pregnancy care when required.

Find answers to common questions about Genetic Sonography, prenatal genetic screening, and specialized fetal ultrasound examinations at Sattva The Fetal Medicine Centre.
No. Genetic Sonography is a screening ultrasound that evaluates fetal anatomy and ultrasound soft markers. It does not diagnose genetic conditions but helps assess whether additional testing or genetic counselling may be beneficial.
Yes. Genetic Sonography is a safe, non-invasive ultrasound examination performed using standard prenatal ultrasound techniques. It uses sound waves and does not expose the mother or baby to radiation.
Only if indicated. Depending on the ultrasound findings and your medical history, your healthcare provider may recommend genetic counselling, Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing (NIPT), Chorionic Villus Sampling (CVS), or amniocentesis for further evaluation.
The examination generally takes 30 to 45 minutes, depending on your baby's position and the level of detailed assessment required during the scan.
Genetic Sonography is especially beneficial for women with high-risk pregnancies, abnormal prenatal screening results, advanced maternal age (35 years or older), a family history of genetic disorders, IVF pregnancies, or previous pregnancies affected by genetic conditions.
