13-14 Week Anatomy Scan

Queensland Radiology Specialists provides 13–14 week anatomy scans to assess early fetal development and detect potential structural abnormalities. Performed by experienced sonographers using high-resolution ultrasound, this scan offers a detailed early look at your baby’s growth and anatomy.

Availability: 13–14 week anatomy scans are available at all of our clinic locations.

What Is an 13-14 Week Anatomy Scan?

A 13–14 week anatomy scan is an early fetal ultrasound performed in the first trimester to:

  • Evaluate major fetal structures, including head, spine, limbs, heart, and abdominal organs

  • Confirm fetal growth and gestational age

  • Assess nuchal translucency in some cases (if not previously performed)

  • Detect potential structural or developmental abnormalities early

  • Provide your obstetrician with information to guide ongoing pregnancy care

This scan complements the nuchal translucency scan and helps with early pregnancy planning and reassurance.

Why Choose Queensland Radiology Specialists for your Anatomy Scan?

  • Experienced sonographers skilled in early fetal anatomy imaging

  • High-resolution ultrasound for clear and accurate images

  • Safe, non-invasive, and radiation-free procedure

  • Rapid report turnaround to your referring obstetrician or GP

  • Supportive and professional environment for early pregnancy care

What to Expect During Your Anatomy Scan

Before Your Scan

  • A full bladder may be required for optimal imaging

  • Wear comfortable clothing

  • Bring your referral and any relevant medical history

During the Scan

  • The sonographer will perform a transabdominal ultrasound; a transvaginal scan may sometimes be used for clearer images

  • You will lie comfortably on the scanning table

  • The scan evaluates key fetal structures and measures growth

  • The procedure is painless and non-invasive

  • The scan usually takes 20–30 minutes

After the Scan

    • You can return to normal activities immediately

    • The sonographer will review images and a report will be sent to your referring doctor

    • Your doctor will discuss results and any recommended follow-up or further scans

Is the Anatomy Scan Safe?

This scan is safe and non-invasive, using ultrasound rather than radiation. It can be performed for all pregnancies in the first trimester and may be repeated if needed.
