Ultrasound - Anomaly Scan (20 weeks)

Comprehensive 20-week anomaly ultrasound offering a detailed, organ-by-organ fetal anatomical survey to screen for major structural abnormalities and assess growth in Dubai. Highlights: placenta and umbilical cord assessment; amniotic fluid evaluation; fetal biometry and estimated gestational age; potential visualization of fetal gender when feasible.

• Bring referral, prior obstetric scans, Emirates ID and insurance information.
• Wear a two-piece outfit for easy abdominal access.
• Arrive with a comfortably full bladder if advised by your provider.
• Avoid applying lotions or oils on the abdomen before the scan.

• You will lie on the exam couch while a sonographer applies gel to your abdomen.
• The sonographer performs a systematic, organ-by-organ fetal survey and measures biometry.
• You may be asked to change position or hold your breath briefly for clearer images.
• The scan typically takes 20–45 minutes depending on fetal position and detail required.

There is no recovery time and you may resume normal activities immediately. A radiologist reviews images and provides a formal report to your referring obstetrician—results are usually available within 24–72 hours; urgent findings will be communicated sooner. If any anomalies are suspected, your care team may recommend additional imaging, specialist referral (maternal‑fetal medicine), or genetic counseling per UAE clinical pathways.
