FETAL ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY — ADVANCED CARDIAC ASSESSMENT FOR YOUR UNBORN BABY
Fetal echocardiography is a specialised prenatal ultrasound that provides a detailed evaluation of your baby’s heart structure, rhythm, and blood flow. It helps detect congenital heart conditions early in pregnancy and supports timely counselling, monitoring, and pregnancy planning when needed.
Fetal echocardiography is a specialised ultrasound examination focused on evaluating the structure and function of your baby’s heart during pregnancy. It helps detect congenital heart conditions early and allows timely planning, counselling, and medical decision-making.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
The anomaly scan is usually performed between 18 and 22 weeks of pregnancy, when fetal anatomy can be assessed in the greatest detail.
Please allow approximately 45–60 minutes depending on fetal position, clinical indications, and whether additional evaluation is required.
No. The scan is completely non-invasive and performed externally using ultrasound imaging.
While many major structural abnormalities can be identified, no scan can guarantee detection of every condition. Some findings may evolve later in pregnancy or remain difficult to visualise.
Yes. All findings are explained clearly after the examination, including recommendations for follow-up if needed.
Yes. ADI frequently evaluates patients referred for specialist review, clarification of uncertain findings, or high-risk pregnancy assessment.
Is a referral required to book the scan?
No referral is necessary. Patients may book directly, and referrals from gynecologists, obstetricians, fertility specialists, and radiologists are also welcomed.
