GENERAL KNOWLEDGE

Detailed explanation-1: -A morphology scan (also known as a ‘fetal anomaly scan’) is an ultrasound usually done between 18 and 22 weeks of pregnancy. It checks your baby’s body organs, specifically looking at their structure and growth, their gestational age and size will also be estimated based on these measurements.

Detailed explanation-2: -Ultrasound is used during pregnancy to check the baby’s development, the presence of a multiple pregnancy and to help pick up any abnormalities. The ultrasound scan isn’t 100 per cent accurate, but the advantages of the test are that it’s non-invasive, painless and safe for both mother and unborn baby.

Detailed explanation-3: -During a fetal ultrasound, your health care provider places a wand-like transducer into your vagina or runs the transducer over your abdomen. Sound waves are translated into a pattern of light and dark areas-creating an image of your baby on a monitor.
