20-week ultrasound: discover the magic of ultrasound
What is a 20-week Ultrasound?
The 20-week ultrasound, also known as the “anatomy scan” or “structural ultrasound,” is a medical ultrasound typically performed between the 18th and 21st week of pregnancy. During this ultrasound, the major organs and structures of the fetus are thoroughly assessed. It provides detailed insight into the development and health of your baby.
What to expect during the 20-week ultrasound?
From careful measurements of the fetus size to thorough assessments of organs and structures, the 20-week ultrasound provides a comprehensive view of the baby’s development and can detect any abnormalities at an early stage. After the ultrasound, our sonographers discuss their findings and any necessary follow-up steps. They are also available to answer all your questions.
