Why USG Targeted Anomaly Scan Is Important
The USG Targeted Anomaly Scan plays a critical role in pregnancy care. It helps identify structural or chromosomal abnormalities in the fetus, such as heart defects, cleft lip, kidney issues, or spine malformations. Early detection allows parents and healthcare providers to prepare for medical management or interventions if required.
Here’s why the test is vital:
-
It ensures the baby's organs, limbs, and brain are developing properly.
-
It helps estimate fetal age, position, and amniotic fluid levels.
-
It detects multiple pregnancies (twins or triplets).
-
It provides key information about the placenta and umbilical cord placement.
-
It offers reassurance and ensures comprehensive prenatal evaluation.
The USG Targeted Anomaly Scan test is essential for all expectant mothers, as it supports safe pregnancy monitoring and early risk assessment. Timely screening can reduce complications and aid in better clinical decision-making.
Benefits of USG Targeted Anomaly Scan
Undergoing a USG Targeted Anomaly Scan at Diagnopein Diagnostic Center provides several clinical and emotional benefits.
Key Benefits:
-
Early Detection: Identifies fetal abnormalities early in the pregnancy.
-
Enhanced Safety: A non-invasive and radiation-free procedure, completely safe for both mother and baby.
-
Medical Planning: Helps gynecologists plan safe delivery and postnatal care.
-
Reassurance: Offers expectant parents confidence regarding baby’s health.

The Anomaly Scan Ultrasound performed by trained radiologists at Diagnopein ensures comprehensive fetal assessment using advanced imaging techniques for complete diagnostic clarity.
How the Test Is Performed
The USG Targeted Anomaly Scan procedure is simple, comfortable, and typically takes 30–45 minutes.
Step-by-Step Process:
-
The patient lies on the examination table while a water-based gel is applied to the abdomen.
-
A transducer (ultrasound probe) is moved gently across the belly.
-
Real-time images of the fetus appear on the ultrasound monitor.
-
The radiologist examines all organs, limbs, heart, and brain structure carefully.
-
A detailed report with measurements and images is generated for your obstetrician.
No special preparation or fasting is required before the scan. Expectant mothers are usually advised to drink water before the test for a clearer image view.
Parameters and Reporting Insights
During the USG Targeted Anomaly Scan test, several fetal and maternal parameters are evaluated:
-
Head circumference (HC) and biparietal diameter (BPD)
-
Femur length (FL) and abdominal circumference (AC)
-
Cardiac structure and heart rate
-
Brain ventricles and spine alignment
-
Placenta position and amniotic fluid volume
-
Umbilical cord flow and fetal movement patterns
Comprehensive reporting helps identify growth deviations and abnormalities early, ensuring the safest pregnancy outcomes.
