Patient's question:
I was 12 weeks pregnant when I had ab at the hospital. Everything checked out fine, so I went back to my hometown. Now I'm 24 weeks pregnant and want to check the specific situation. What is the best time to have a 4D color ultrasound?Doctor's answer:
It is most ideal to perform a detailed fetal anomaly scan between weeks 18 and 28. During this period, the fetal anatomy has already been fully developed and can be clearly visualized by MRI. The size of the fetus and the amniotic fluid are uniform, with minimal interference from bone echoes, resulting in clear images. Most fetal anomalies can be detected during this time. A thorough examination during this period can rule out the majority of anomalies, and subtle anomalies can still be closely monitored before 28 weeks.
