Detailed Ultrasound Monitoring of Your Baby's Growth & Well-Being
A growth scan is a specialized ultrasound examination used to assess the baby's size, growth pattern, development, position, amniotic fluid, placenta, and other important pregnancy parameters during the later stages of pregnancy.
A Growth Scan is an ultrasound examination performed during pregnancy to monitor the baby's growth and development. It provides detailed measurements of the fetus and helps assess whether the baby is growing appropriately for the stage of pregnancy.
Dr. Shubhi Goyal provides fetal growth scan services in Siliguri, using detailed ultrasound assessment to evaluate fetal measurements, growth patterns, amniotic fluid, placental position, and other relevant pregnancy findings. The examination is tailored according to the gestational age and individual clinical requirements.
A growth scan may include evaluation of:
Fetal growth is assessed by taking specific ultrasound measurements and comparing them with expected growth patterns for the corresponding stage of pregnancy. Measurements may include the baby's head, abdomen, and femur, along with other relevant parameters.
A single scan provides information about the baby's size at that particular point in pregnancy. When growth monitoring is required, follow-up scans may be recommended at appropriate intervals to assess the growth pattern over time.
Along with fetal measurements, the examination can provide information about several aspects of the pregnancy, including amniotic fluid, placenta, fetal activity, and other relevant findings.
In pregnancies where additional monitoring is recommended, Doppler ultrasound may also be performed to evaluate blood flow in selected maternal and fetal vessels. This can provide additional information about placental and fetal circulation when clinically appropriate.
A growth scan may be advised as part of routine pregnancy monitoring or when the treating obstetrician recommends closer assessment. It may be particularly useful when there are concerns about fetal growth, pregnancy-related conditions, previous pregnancy history, or other clinical factors.
The timing and frequency of growth scans vary from patient to patient and should be determined according to individual medical requirements.
Every pregnancy develops differently, and fetal size can naturally vary. A growth scan does not assess fetal health based on size alone. The measurements are interpreted together with gestational age, previous scan findings, maternal history, placental findings, amniotic fluid, and other relevant clinical information.
In twin or multiple pregnancies, individual assessment of each baby may be performed to monitor their respective growth and development.
Dr. Shubhi Goyal approaches fetal growth assessment with detailed imaging and careful interpretation. The relevant findings are documented and explained clearly, helping patients understand the purpose of the examination and the information obtained from the scan.
If a growth pattern requires closer monitoring or additional evaluation, follow-up imaging or further clinical assessment may be recommended in coordination with the treating obstetrician.
With expertise in fetal and obstetric ultrasound and specialized training in fetal radiology and genetics, Dr. Shubhi Goyal provides detailed growth scans in Siliguri.
The focus is on accurate fetal measurements, detailed assessment, reliable reporting, and compassionate care, supporting appropriate monitoring throughout the pregnancy journey.

A growth scan is a pregnancy ultrasound performed to assess the baby's size, growth pattern, development, amniotic fluid, placenta, and other important pregnancy parameters at a particular stage of pregnancy.
A growth scan may be recommended to monitor whether the baby is growing appropriately for the gestational age. It can also be advised when closer monitoring is needed because of previous scan findings or specific pregnancy-related concerns.
The scan may include measurements of the baby's head, abdomen, and thigh bone, along with other ultrasound parameters used to estimate fetal size and assess growth in relation to the pregnancy stage.
A Growth Scan provides information about fetal growth, amniotic fluid, placenta, and other relevant findings. When clinically required, Doppler assessment may also be performed to provide additional information about blood flow.
The number and timing of growth scans vary from one pregnancy to another. Some women may require follow-up examinations to monitor growth over time, particularly when closer observation is recommended by the treating healthcare professional.
Timing : 10AM to 5PM
