Every pregnant woman is entitled to two ultrasound examinations free of charge. Screening examinations are voluntary. Pregnant women will have two prenatal screening ultrasound examinations: early pregnancy ultrasound and a structural ultrasound scan. The first ultrasound is performed during gestational weeks 11+0 to 13+6, and the second is performed during gestational weeks 19 to 21. In regards to screening for chromosomal abnormalities, nuchal fold thickness measurement and a blood sample can be combined to the early pregnancy ultrasound scan. The ultrasound screenings are performed by a specially trained midwife.
The ultrasound scan appointment lasts 30 minutes. Please register for the screening examination appointment with the self-registration kiosk in the entrance lobby.
In some of the risk pregnancies the ultrasound screening examination is made by a specialist physician. In this case the appointment is subject to a fee.
