Pregnancy Scans

Every scan performed personally by Professor Pandya — no sonographers, only direct consultant expertise, at every appointment.

Why Consultant-Led Scans
Make All the Difference

At Professor Pandya's clinic, every ultrasound scan is performed directly by him. This is not standard practice — many private clinics use sonographers for routine scans. We believe that having a consultant with 37 years of specialist expertise review every image in real time provides unmatched accuracy, reassurance and peace of mind.

All scans take place at the Harley Street Centre for Women, a dedicated specialist centre providing the highest standard of women's health care in central London.

Early Pregnancy Scan

An early pregnancy scan provides vital reassurance at a time when many women feel anxious. It confirms the pregnancy is developing in the correct location, checks for a heartbeat and provides an accurate dating of the pregnancy.

This scan is ideal for women who have experienced previous miscarriage, IVF, fertility treatment, or who are experiencing symptoms such as bleeding or pain and require reassurance.

When
From 6 to 11 weeks of pregnancy
Duration
Approximately 20 minutes
What it checks
Pregnancy location, heartbeat, gestational age, number of babies

11–14 Weeks

Nuchal Translucency Scan

The Nuchal Translucency (NT) scan is one of the most important scans in pregnancy. It measures fluid at the back of the baby's neck — a key marker used to assess the likelihood of Down's syndrome (Trisomy 21), Edwards' syndrome and Patau's syndrome.

Combined with a blood test (the combined first trimester screen), the NT scan provides a highly sensitive assessment of chromosomal conditions, helping you make informed decisions about any further testing.

When
Between 11 weeks + 2 days and 14 weeks + 1 day
Duration
Approximately 20 minutes (including consultation)
What it checks
Nuchal fold measurement, nasal bone, fetal anatomy overview, Down's syndrome risk

Detailed Anatomy Scan

The Detailed Anatomy Scan, also known as the anomaly scan, is a comprehensive examination of your baby's anatomy at the mid-point of pregnancy. Professor Pandya reviews each organ system in detail — including the brain, spine, heart, kidneys, limbs and face.

This scan goes beyond the NHS routine 20-week scan, with greater time, attention and consultant expertise applied to every structure. Where a potential concern is found, Professor Pandya can provide immediate expert interpretation and guidance.

When
Between 20 and 22 weeks
Duration
Approximately 20 minutes
What it checks
Full fetal anatomical survey, placental position, amniotic fluid, growth measurement

Fetal Wellbeing Scan

As your pregnancy progresses into the third trimester, a Fetal Wellbeing Scan provides reassurance about your baby's growth, movements, position and placental function. This is particularly important for women with risk factors for fetal growth restriction or placental problems.

The scan includes Doppler blood flow assessment to evaluate the blood supply through the umbilical cord and placenta, providing a complete picture of your baby's health in late pregnancy.

When
From 28 weeks; typically at 28, 32 and 36 weeks
Duration
Approximately 20 minutes
What it checks
Fetal growth, movements, liquor volume, placental position and Doppler blood flow
