20-22 Week Morphology Scan
Queensland Radiology Specialists offers the 20–22 week morphology scan, also known as the anomaly scan, to assess your baby’s growth, development, and overall health. Performed by experienced sonographers using high-resolution ultrasound, this scan provides detailed information about fetal anatomy and helps identify any structural abnormalities.
Availability: 20–22 week morphology scans are available at all of our clinic locations.
What Is a 20-22 Week Morphology Scan?
The 20–22 week morphology scan is a comprehensive mid-pregnancy ultrasound designed to:
- Evaluate fetal organs and anatomy, including the brain, heart, spine, kidneys, and limbs
- Measure fetal growth and amniotic fluid levels
- Assess the placenta and umbilical cord
- Detect structural abnormalities or congenital conditions
- Provide important information for ongoing pregnancy management
This scan is a key part of prenatal care and is usually performed between 20 and 22 weeks gestation for optimal visualization.
