Late
The classic organ ultrasound can be performed by us between the 20th and 21st week of pregnancy. However, even at a later stage, it is usually possible to determine whether your child is developing normally. However, the examination conditions may be somewhat more limited due to the position of the baby and the increasing constriction in the uterus as well as the thickness of the mother's abdominal wall. Such a detailed examination requires not only special high-resolution ultrasound equipment, but also a great deal of experience on the part of the examining doctor.
The subsequent fine diagnostics also takes place under good examination conditions in our Practice takes about 30 to 40 minutes.
With the help of late ultrasound diagnostics, all of the unborn child's visualisable organs can be examined. The function of the baby's heart and the blood flow behaviour in the uterine vessels and the baby's blood vessels can also be checked. However, an ultrasound scan, although very comprehensive, can never reveal all physical illnesses or chromosomal defects.
Rather, ultrasound fine diagnostics serves this purpose, High-risk pregnancies and/or to make an exact diagnosis following any abnormalities in the antenatal check-up. If we diagnose a disease or malformation in your child during this detailed examination, we will work with you to take timely measures for the further course of the pregnancy (including further examinations, therapies) or plan the birth with you by involving other specialists and in close cooperation with the maternity clinic.
Your gynaecologist will decide whether there is a reason for a referral for a detailed ultrasound diagnosis. Of course, you can also make use of ultrasound fine diagnostics as a self-payer.
