Yes — sonography is absolutely safe during pregnancy and can be performed as many times as your doctor recommends. It involves no radiation — only harmless high-frequency sound waves. It is safe in all three trimesters and is routinely done multiple times to monitor the baby's growth and development. Do not be concerned if your doctor requests repeat sonography — it is a precautionary and standard practice.

• 2D Sonography: Standard flat images used for all routine diagnosis — abdominal, pelvic, thyroid, obstetric scans.
• 3D Sonography: Creates three-dimensional still images. Useful for detailed foetal face, limb, and anatomy assessment.
• 4D Sonography: Like 3D but in real-time motion — you can see the baby yawning, blinking, and moving. Best between 26–32 weeks of pregnancy.

For routine medical diagnosis, 2D is sufficient. 3D/4D is recommended for advanced foetal evaluation and bonding experience.

Colour Doppler is a specialised ultrasound technique that shows blood flow through vessels in colour — red (towards probe) and blue (away from probe). It gives an accurate reading of blood flow direction, speed, and volume. It is used for:

• Foetal blood flow monitoring during pregnancy
• Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) detection
• Renal artery stenosis assessment
• Carotid artery blockage screening
• Varicose veins and peripheral vascular disease
• Scrotal Doppler for testicular torsion

Elastography is an advanced ultrasound feature that measures the stiffness (elasticity) of tissues. Normal tissues are soft and elastic; cancerous or fibrotic tissues are harder and stiffer. At Usmanpura Imaging Centre, elastography is used for:

• Liver: Assess degree of fibrosis and fatty liver disease — without the need for liver biopsy
• Breast: Differentiate benign cysts/fibroadenomas (soft) from cancerous lumps (hard)
• Thyroid: Assess if thyroid nodules are cancerous based on tissue stiffness

Our 5D ultrasound machines include built-in elastography for superior diagnostic accuracy.

The Anomaly Scan (also called Level 2 scan, TIFFA scan, or mid-pregnancy scan) is a detailed ultrasound performed between 18 and 22 weeks of pregnancy. It is a comprehensive evaluation of:

• Brain, spine and skull development
• Heart structure and chambers
• Kidneys, bladder and abdominal organs
• Limbs, fingers and toes
• Face, lips and palate
• Placenta position and amniotic fluid level

It is a standard, recommended scan for all pregnant women and takes approximately 30–45 minutes to complete thoroughly.

At Usmanpura Imaging Centre, sonography reports are typically available immediately or within the same visit. Our expert radiologists and sonologists review and sign off reports promptly. You can collect the report in person or receive it digitally via WhatsApp. Emergency reporting is available on priority.

Yes. Pelvic ultrasound (transabdominal or transvaginal) is the primary imaging test used to diagnose PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome). It can detect multiple small follicles (cysts) arranged around the ovary, ovarian enlargement, and thickened endometrium — all characteristic findings of PCOS. The test is quick, painless, and safe. TVS (Transvaginal Sonography) gives more detailed ovarian images when required.
