Department of Prenatal Diagnosis Center

With the advancement in molecular science, cell genetics, and ultrasonography, the Prenatal Diagnosis Center at Vibhavadi Hospital can diagnose nearly all fetal anomalies. Our highly skilled team can identify genetic disorders and fetal abnormalities, providing parents with a comprehensive understanding of their unborn child's health. Our state-of-the-art 4D ultrasound machine allows parents to visualize the structure of their fetus within the womb. 

  

Prenatal Diagnostic Services: 

  

Specific Pregnancy Services: 

• Amniocentesis/NIPT (Non-Invasive Prenatal Test): These tests screen for chromosomal abnormalities such as Down syndrome, Patau syndrome, or Turner syndrome. 

• Ultrasound (2D and 4D): We use these contemporary tools to identify potential fetal abnormalities. 

• Fetal Echocardiography: This test is performed to identify anomalies in the fetus’s heart. 

• 4D Ultrasound: This technology displays the baby's image while still in the womb, enabling the parents to visualize the fetus. 

• Fetal Health Checkup: With the use of instruments that meet international standards, we perform checkups to assess the health of the fetus. 

• First Trimester (10-13 weeks of gestation): Screening tests with ultrasound machines are performed to confirm the number of fetuses and examine their DNA for any chromosomal abnormalities. 

• Early Second Trimester (16-18 weeks of gestation): Amniocentesis is performed to examine the chromosomes for any genetic issues, such as thalassemia. 

• Late Second Trimester (20-24 weeks of gestation): Detailed ultrasound scans (anomaly scans) are performed to examine the fetus's organ system for irregularities, such as heart system issues, digestive tract problems, cleft lip and palate, brain system issues, or limb abnormalities. 

• Third Trimester (28 weeks of gestation): We perform assessments of fetal development in the womb to check the overall health. Biophysical Profile is a test that combines a nonstress test with ultrasound to monitor the health of the fetus. Doppler Ultrasound is a noninvasive method to estimate the blood flow through the fetus's blood vessels. 

• Fetal Echocardiography: This test allows the doctor to better understand the structure and function of the unborn child’s heart. 

• 4D Ultrasound: This technology checks the physical features of the fetus, such as the face, legs, arms, spine, fingers, and heart. 

Vibhavadi Hospital's Prenatal Diagnosis Center excels in detecting fetal anomalies with advanced molecular science, genetics, and ultrasonography. Services include amniocentesis/NIPT, 2D/4D ultrasound, fetal echocardiography, and comprehensive fetal health checkups, addressing all pregnancy stages.
