What is a fetal anatomy scan?
The fetal anatomy (morphology, Level II) scan is one of the most important ultrasound examinations of pregnancy, during which the development of the fetal organs and systems is assessed in detail. It is precisely this examination that makes the early detection of congenital abnormalities possible.

When is the examination performed?
