Advanced Early Pregnancy Scan
"We refer to The Ultrasound Suite regularly. The staff are so friendly and professional. The patients are delighted with the service.
They are also very reasonably priced - compared to some sonography clinics in Dublin.
Highly recommended!

PREPARATION
Full bladder
LENGTH OF SCAN
Up to 30 minutes
PURPOSE OF SCAN
- To confirm intrauterine pregnancy
- To determine fetal viability
- To provide accurate gestational dating
- To establish an accurate estimated due date
- To identify and measure fetal heart rate
- To determine the number of fetuses
- To determine chorionicity and amnionicity if a multiple pregnancy
- To examine for obvious uterine and ovarian pathology (visualisation of these structures
is not always satisfactory in pregnancy)
- To identify and examine some of the main organs in the fetus (the normality of these
organs cannot be determined at this stage – however, if an obvious abnormality is
identified you will be referred on to a fetal medicine specialist)
