About Our Anatomy / Anomaly Ultrasound Scan

A detailed mid-pregnancy scan to assess your baby’s development, growth, and structural health

The second trimester anomaly scan is a key milestone in your pregnancy journey. Our Scan, typically performed between 18 and 24 weeks, provides a thorough evaluation of your baby’s development. It is also one of the two routine scans offered by the NHS. At London Private Ultrasound, we offer this advanced scan in a calm, private setting with immediate results and the option to self-refer - no waiting list, no delays.

 

What Does the Scan Involve?

This scan is conducted by one of our highly qualified and experienced sonographers, using high-resolution imaging to examine your baby’s structure and detect signs of any potential concerns. It screens for 11 physical fetal conditions, offering a clear, systematic review of:

  • Fetal anatomy — brain, spine, heart, stomach, kidneys, limbs, and more

  • Fetal growth — measurements compared with expected gestational age

  • Placenta and amniotic fluid — location, volume, and function

  • Optional gender confirmation (on request)

  • Same-day medical report and digital images

 

Benefits of the Anomaly Scan

Early detection of fetal abnormalities enables timely medical intervention, referral to fetal medicine specialists, or simply preparation and support for parents. This scan empowers you with vital information to make informed decisions about your pregnancy and birth plan.

While the anomaly scan is highly accurate, it is important to understand that it is a screening test — not all abnormalities can be detected. Ongoing prenatal care and communication with your healthcare provider remain essential throughout your pregnancy.

An anomaly Scan, also known as Mid-Pregnancy Scan or 20-Week Scan, is a detailed 2D ultrasound imaging, usually performed between 19 to 23 weeks of pregnancy. The purpose of this scan is to screen for 11 rare congenital conditions.
Anomaly Scan is routinely preformed between 19 - 23 weeks of pregnancy.
Prior to 18 weeks of pregnancy, your baby’s organs are not large enough to allow for a detailed scan.
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.
An ultrasound examination is a safe and effective diagnostic tool that offers crucial insights into your baby’s health, providing reassurance and peace of mind. The 20-week anatomy scan is highly effective at detecting many conditions but has limitations and cannot identify all potential problems. This scan looks for markers of serious health issues; however, some conditions may go undetected, particularly those that emerge later in pregnancy, don’t visibly affect your baby, or impact the heart. It is important to note that no screening test is 100% accurate. Fortunately, most major conditions are detected through these scans.
The anatomy Scan is performed transabdominally (on top of your tummy), for which we advise to have comfortably filled bladder.
