Comprehensive Fetal Anatomy Assessment for a Healthy Pregnancy
A Level II Anomaly Scan is one of the most important prenatal ultrasound examinations performed during pregnancy to assess your baby's growth, anatomy, and overall development. At Sattva The Fetal Medicine Centre, we provide advanced Level II Anomaly Scans using high-resolution ultrasound technology to evaluate fetal organs, identify structural abnormalities, and ensure comprehensive maternal and fetal care.
What is a Level II Anomaly Scan?
A Level II Anomaly Scan, also known as the Targeted Anomaly Scan or Detailed Fetal Anatomy Scan, is a specialized ultrasound performed during the second trimester of pregnancy. It provides a detailed evaluation of your baby's organs, bones, brain, heart, spine, face, abdomen, kidneys, limbs, placenta, and amniotic fluid.
The scan helps detect many structural abnormalities while also monitoring your baby's healthy growth and development. A thorough fetal anatomy assessment enables early identification of potential concerns, appropriate counselling, additional investigations if required, and personalized pregnancy management to support the best possible outcomes for both mother and baby.
