Pregnancy is a magical journey—but it also requires continuous monitoring to ensure the health and development of the baby. One of the most important milestones in this journey is the Level II Ultrasound, also known as the anomaly scan.
At Aashakiran IVF Pvt. Ltd., North India’s most trusted and fastest-growing IVF chain, with flourishing centers in Kharar, Ludhiana, Amritsar, and Bathinda, we emphasize the importance of this detailed scan as a key part of our comprehensive prenatal care.
What is Level II Ultrasound?
The Level II scan is a mid-pregnancy ultrasound usually done between 18 to 22 weeks. It provides a detailed anatomical assessment of the fetus, evaluating the development of all major organs and structures.
Unlike a basic scan, this one is focused on identifying structural abnormalities or birth defects, if any.
Why is Level II Ultrasound Important?
🔍 Detailed Organ Evaluation
It checks the brain, spine, heart, kidneys, stomach, limbs, and facial features of the fetus.
💓 Congenital Anomaly Detection
This scan can detect conditions like:
- Cleft lip/palate
- Heart defects
- Neural tube defects (e.g., spina bifida)
- Abdominal wall defects
- Limb abnormalities
📏 Fetal Growth and Placental Health
It also helps assess:
- Fetal growth parameters
- Amniotic fluid levels
- Placenta location and function
- Umbilical cord structure
👶 Early Intervention Possibilities
Early detection of anomalies allows for:
- Specialist consultations
- Timely interventions or surgeries (if possible)
- Delivery planning in a higher-level facility
Who Should Get a Level II Scan?
Every expecting mother should undergo a Level II scan, but it’s especially recommended for:
- IVF pregnancies
- Advanced maternal age (35+)
- History of miscarriage or birth defects
- Abnormal first-trimester screening results
- Diabetic or hypertensive mothers
