Obstetric Scans
Obstetric scans are essential ultrasound examinations performed during pregnancy to monitor the health, growth, and development of the fetus and to ensure maternal well-being. At Dr. Wellness Diagnostic Centre, we offer a full range of obstetric scans using advanced GE Versana Premier ultrasound technology, ensuring high-resolution images and accurate diagnostics at every stage of pregnancy.
These scans are non-invasive, safe, and radiation-free, making them ideal for monitoring the fetus throughout the trimesters. They provide critical insights into the baby’s development, position, heartbeat, amniotic fluid levels, and placental condition. They also help in early detection of complications, ensuring timely interventions and better pregnancy outcomes.
Early Pregnancy Scan – Confirms pregnancy, detects fetal heartbeat, and estimates gestational age (typically done around 6–8 weeks).
Nuchal Translucency (NT) Scan – Done between 11–14 weeks to screen for chromosomal abnormalities like Down syndrome.
Anomaly Scan – Also known as the mid-pregnancy scan (18–22 weeks), it checks fetal organs, limbs, spine, brain, and heart for structural anomalies.
Growth Scan – Conducted in the third trimester to monitor fetal growth, weight, and position.
Obstetric Doppler Scan – Evaluates blood flow between the uterus, placenta, and fetus, helping detect fetal distress or growth restrictions.

The procedure is simple and painless. A special gel is applied to the abdomen, and a probe is gently moved over the area to capture live images of the fetus. Most scans take between 15–30 minutes, and you may be asked to come with a full bladder for early pregnancy scans.
At Dr. Wellness Diagnostic Centre, obstetric scans are conducted by Dr. Gautam R. Patil, a qualified radiologist with expertise in maternal-fetal imaging. We ensure a comfortable, respectful, and reassuring experience for every expectant mother.
With precision diagnostics and compassionate care, we aim to make your pregnancy journey safe, informed, and joyful.
