Ultrasound examinations performed during pregnancy play a key role in allowing you to continuously monitor your baby’s development. Among these, genetic ultrasound scans are particularly important, as they provide a detailed view of the foetus’s anatomical development and help with the early detection of potential abnormalities.
At MC60, we place great emphasis on personalized and attentive care. Genetic ultrasound examinations are carried out by Vasvári Viktória master sonographer and midwife, who supports you during this special period not only with her professional expertise but also with her empathetic and caring approach.
A genetic ultrasound is a detailed, specialized obstetric ultrasound examination designed to thoroughly assess the foetus’s anatomical development and to estimate the risk of certain chromosomal abnormalities and developmental anomalies.
During the examination, the sonographer checks, among other things:
It is important to emphasize that a genetic ultrasound is not a genetic sampling procedure, but an ultrasound-based screening test that can indicate the suspicion of certain abnormalities.
A genetic ultrasound plays a key role in:
A genetic ultrasound is one of the most important foetal screening tests during pregnancy.
It is recommended because it:
The examination is completely painless and safe for the foetus.
During pregnancy, genetic ultrasound examinations are typically carried out at three key stages:
1st trimester – weeks 12–13
The first genetic ultrasound is used to screen for early developmental abnormalities. It is recommended between 12 weeks 0 days and 13 weeks 6 days of pregnancy.
2nd trimester – weeks 19–20
The second genetic ultrasound is the most important detailed anatomical examination.
3rd trimester – weeks 30–32
The third genetic ultrasound is performed to assess late developmental abnormalities and to monitor the foetus’s growth.
The FMF (Foetal Medicine Foundation) is an internationally recognized organization that sets quality standards for foetal diagnostics and screening examinations. This certification ensures that genetic ultrasound examinations are performed in accordance with international professional guidelines.
The FMF license is a specialized training and examination that certifies that the sonographer:
At our institution, high-quality genetic ultrasound examinations are available, covering all key stages of pregnancy:
The genetic ultrasound performed in the first trimester is one of the most important examinations for screening early developmental abnormalities.
During the examination, the following can be assessed, among others:
This examination is often combined with a combined test or other genetic screening methods.
The genetic ultrasound performed in the second trimester is the most comprehensive foetal anatomical examination.
The sonographer performs a detailed assessment of:
This examination is essential for detecting structural developmental abnormalities.
The genetic ultrasound performed in the third trimester is used to monitor the foetus’s growth and overall condition.
During the examination, the sonographer:
If further evaluation is required based on the genetic ultrasound findings, our institution provides comprehensive solutions. With the involvement of Dr. Molnár László, specialist in medical genetics, foetal genetic risk assessment tests are also available, ensuring a smooth and well-coordinated continuum of care.
