Combines NT measurement with nasal bone visibility and Doppler studies for highly accurate chromosomal risk assessment.
4️.Anomaly Scan (Level II / Mid-Trimester Scan)
A detailed assessment of fetal anatomy at 18–22 weeks. Checks brain, heart, spine, limbs, and internal organs to detect structural abnormalities early.
5️.Targeted / Detailed Fetal Anatomy Scan
Performed when high-risk conditions are suspected or referred by an obstetrician. Offers magnified and focused visualization of specific fetal systems.
6️.Fetal Growth & Well-Being Scan
Conducted in the third trimester to monitor fetal size, weight, amniotic fluid, and placental position. Essential to ensure continued growth and vitality of the baby.
7️.Fetal Doppler Ultrasound
Evaluates blood flow in the umbilical cord, placenta, and fetal vessels. Vital for managing pregnancies with hypertension, diabetes, or growth restriction.

Series of scans to monitor follicle growth and ovulation timing during fertility treatment or natural conception cycles.
This helps couples identify the most fertile days or plan IUI/IVF treatment effectively.
13.Saline Infusion Sonography (SIS / SSG)
Saline is introduced into the uterus for better visualization of the uterine cavity. Helps detect fibroids, polyps, or uterine anomalies affecting fertility.
