Advanced Fetal Imaging & Pregnancy Scans in Chandigarh

Q: When do I need a Fetal Echocardiography?

Fetal Echo is recommended between 20–24 weeks for IVF pregnancies, mothers with diabetes, a family history of congenital heart disease, abnormal NT scan findings, or any suspected cardiac anomaly.

Q: What is NIPT and how accurate is it?

NIPT is a highly accurate blood test from 10 weeks onwards that screens for chromosomal conditions including Down syndrome, Edwards syndrome, Patau syndrome, and sex chromosome anomalies, with accuracy above 99% for common trisomies.

Q: Can I get same-day reporting for my fetal scan?

Yes. Same-day reporting is provided for all fetal imaging scans at Dr. Dua's Diagnostics, Chandigarh.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is fetal ultrasound safe for my baby?

Yes, completely. Fetal ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves — not radiation — and has an excellent safety record established over decades of use worldwide. All our scans are performed using premium-grade ultrasound systems for optimal image quality with minimal exposure time.

What is a Level II anomaly scan and why is it important?

The Level II Detailed Anomaly Scan, done between 18–22 weeks, is the most important scan of pregnancy. It evaluates your baby head-to-toe — brain, heart, spine, face, limbs, kidneys, placenta, and amniotic fluid — to detect structural abnormalities at a stage when the information is most actionable.

When do I need a Fetal Echocardiography (Fetal Echo)?

Fetal Echo is recommended between 20–24 weeks (or earlier if advised) for IVF pregnancies, mothers with diabetes, a family history of congenital heart disease, abnormal NT scan findings, or any suspected cardiac anomaly. It is a detailed, specialised scan of the baby’s heart, performed here by a Harvard-trained specialist.

What is NIPT and how accurate is it?

NIPT (Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing) is a highly accurate blood test done from 10 weeks onwards. It screens for chromosomal conditions including Down syndrome (Trisomy 21), Edwards syndrome (Trisomy 18), Patau syndrome (Trisomy 13), and sex chromosome anomalies — with accuracy above 99% for common trisomies, without any risk to the baby.

What is the difference between amniocentesis and CVS?

Both are invasive diagnostic tests that provide a definitive chromosomal diagnosis. CVS (Chorionic Villus Sampling) is performed earlier, at 11–13 weeks, and involves sampling the placenta. Amniocentesis is done after 15 weeks and samples the amniotic fluid. Both are performed under continuous ultrasound guidance at our centre, with detailed pre- and post-procedure counselling.

Do I need a full bladder for my scan?

A full bladder is only required for early pregnancy (first trimester) scans. For all mid and late pregnancy scans, including anomaly scans and fetal echo, no special bladder preparation is needed.

How long does a Level II anomaly scan take?

A thorough Level II scan typically takes 20–45 minutes, depending on the baby’s position and cooperation. We do not rush any scan — your baby’s complete evaluation is our priority.

What is the cost of fetal scans and genetic tests in Chandigarh?

Costs vary depending on the specific scan or test. Please WhatsApp or call us for current pricing — we are happy to guide you on what is recommended for your stage of pregnancy and risk profile.

Can I get same-day reporting for my fetal scan?

Yes. We provide same-day reporting for all fetal imaging scans at Dr. Dua’s Diagnostics, Chandigarh.

Do you offer genetic counselling alongside testing?

Absolutely. Antenatal and preconception genetic counselling is an integral part of our service. Whether you have an abnormal scan result, a family history of genetic conditions, or are planning a pregnancy with known risk factors, our specialist will guide you with compassionate, evidence-based counselling.
