Pregnancy Ultrasound Examinations
Introduction
Ultrasound
has become a routine part of the care of pregnant women enabling obstetricians
and pregnant women insight into the development and appearance of the unborn
baby. From screening for Down syndrome and examining the baby for normal development,
through to sexing the baby, estimating the baby's size and providing 3D and
4D images, modern ultrasound equipment and technical expertise enables women
to avail themselves of a full pregnancy ultrasound service.
Fetal Imaging
'Fetal
Imaging' is the ultrasound service provided and performed by consultant
obstetricians and specialists in Fetal Medicine who have many years of
experience in pregnancy scanning. We use a state of the art ultrasound
machine at the Glasgow Nuffield Hospital and the Glasgow Centre for Reproductive Medicine (GCRM). The obstetricians will be happy
to answer any queries that you have regarding the examinations or any other
aspects of your pregnancy management.
It is not necessary to be referred for an ultrasound scan with most women booking their scan directly. Each scan is accompanied by digital images of the scan (on CD or DVD as appropriate) and a written report provided.
