Anomaly Ultrasound​ Scan

Baby's Anomaly Ultrasound​ Scan

£165

An anomaly scan is known as a mid-pregnancy scan, 18-24 weeks (optimal suggestive time is 20-22 weeks). The main purpose of this scan is to entirely check your baby and make sure that the baby is developmentally and structurally normal.
This is very important to have this scan done as some babies’ health problems cannot be predicted by the health of parents or their family history.
At Private Ultrasound Clinic, we offer a comprehensive Anomaly Scan of your baby, which is one of the two scans that are routinely offered to all pregnant women as part of antenatal care in the UK. This scan aims to perform a full survey of the baby’s structures, by assessing the baby’s growth by this stage of development, as well as many structures and organs. During this scan, the following would be examined: baby’s head and brain, baby’s face, spine, organs in baby’s abdominal cavity such as kidneys, stomach, bladder, diaphragm, bowel, abdominal wall, umbilical cord, baby’s spine, and limbs (arms, legs, hands, feet) and heart views.
The overall fluid around your baby would also be assessed alongside placental lie. This is to make sure the location of the placenta and to rule out that the placenta is not in the way of the birth canal.

If you wish to find out the gender of your baby we can offer a gender scan as a complimentary scan with the anomaly scan.

Anomaly Scan is routinely preformed between 18 - 24 weeks of pregnancy.

Prior to 18 weeks of pregnancy, your baby’s organs are not large enough to allow for a detailed scan.

It is not mandatory to have this scan. However, many parents opt for this scan to find out if their little one has a congenital disease.

During an Anomaly Scan, the sonographer will look for 11 congenital diseases affecting your baby’s brain, spinal cord, heat, face, kidney, bones and abdomen.

Some congenital defects are easier to identify than others. For instance, “Spina Bifida”, a condition affecting the baby’s spinal cord, can often be visualized clearly. Thus, Anomaly Scan can pick up 9 out of 10 cases of Spina Bifida. Opposingly, heart defects are more difficult to identify. Consequently, Anomaly Scan is only 50% accurate in detecting congenital heart conditions.

We can look for Down Syndrome during an Anomaly Scan. However, it is only 50 % accurate. First Trimester Screening, which includes Nuchal Translucency Scan and blood tests, is more sensitive to detect Down Syndrome (94 % accuracy). At Private London Ultrasound, we offer both the Anomaly Scan and First Trimester Screening.

Yes, you can but as the baby grows alignment of the hands to arms and feet to legs cannot be assessed. If there is anything wrong with the baby's structure or there are signs of chromosomal abnormalities, based on the local law the chance of a decision regarding abortion is reduced.

Had a lymph node scan back August. The service and treatment were amazing. comfortable and able to receive good information. M.Aghaei was the person who performed my scan and was also able to help me with getting my GP to pay attention to my concerns. If I had any issues and didn’t want to wait for the NHS I would definitely come back again to receive scan or blood tests work. So happy with LPU

Amazing service by the ultrasound team. Was seen to early as I arrived early. Was given reassurance and was provided with a report within 10 minutes of leaving. Would 100% recommend for anyone wanting a quick scan for peace of mind!I went for a second time and I will continue to be using London Sono for future scans when needed, especially for my yearly reviews. Not only is Dr Pedram extremely professional and knowledgeable, he’s patient, caring and very thorough. Couldn’t recommend them more!

Had an appointment with Pedram M. Aghaei who was absolutely wonderful. He was so kind, calm and respectful, explaining everything in a way I could understand and fully involving me in the process by showing me diagrams and also explaining the results on screen while the ultrasound was being performed. I was very anxious and had wound myself up before the appointment, but he was immediately very gentle and reassuring. Would definitely recommend this clinic.

I was able to book 2 scans and 2 blood tests and have them later the same day. The clinic was very efficient in the booking process, it was easy to find, clean and well appointed and the staff were friendly and efficient. Everything was well explained to me and the results were given to me on the day where possible and within the timescale projected for those I had to wait for. This was a very reassuring to have my tests so quickly and stopped a lot of worrying. The radiologist was very thorough and went the extra mile. Highly recommended service.

I was very satisfied! I booked appointment for early pregnancy scan. For specific price they give detailed ultrasound of the embryo, his arms, legs, and heartbeat speed and others. also they look all around very detailed ultrasonic scanning. They sent us an email with at least 30 photos, videos and a written report about the general condition and condition of the embryo. It was professional in my opinion, I was in other clinics where they don’t do anything like that and don’t consider it in detail. I can advise this place with confidence.

The whole process was explained to me and before and during the scan. Results were explained fully and in detail during and after the scan. Dr Pedro was very informative, kind and patient, and also answered all questions I had. I received the scan and report quickly, including recommendations on further action needed. Five star treatment!

Literally booked an appointment the night before and everything else from then was seamless. Was seen to quickly, spoken through every aspect of my scan and had the opportunity to speak to the doctor about next steps. I came away feeling so much better because I knew what was going on with my body. Great service and team!!!
