Obstetric Ultrasound Report: Anomaly Scan, TIFFA, and Growth
Hybrid AI + subspecialty radiologist intelligence. Reports in 30 minutes. Critical findings escalated immediately.
- What is a Obstetric Ultrasound?
- Obstetric ultrasound is a non-ionising imaging study of the pregnant uterus that assesses fetal anatomy, growth, position, and well-being. It spans dating scans (6-9 weeks), nuchal translucency / NT scans (11-13+6 weeks), anomaly scans (also called TIFFA / Level 2 / 18-22 weeks), and growth scans (28-32 weeks and beyond).
- How long does a Obstetric Ultrasound report take with 5C?
- In India, 5C Network's hybrid intelligence workflow delivers structured Obstetric Ultrasound reports in an average of 30 minutes, signed off by a ob-gyn / fetal medicine specialist. Emergency cases are prioritised for 15-minute turnaround.
When is a Obstetric Ultrasound ordered?
Ordered routinely through pregnancy as per FOGSI guidelines: a dating scan in the first trimester, NT scan for chromosomal-anomaly risk in weeks 11-13+6, anomaly scan for fetal structural assessment in weeks 18-22 (TIFFA), and growth / well-being scans in the third trimester. Also used for early-pregnancy bleeding, suspected ectopic, and high-risk surveillance (Doppler studies).
How 5C reads a Obstetric Ultrasound
Every Obstetric Ultrasound on the 5C network is read by AI and a board-certified radiologist — never one without the other. Here's the 4-step workflow.
Bionic AI pre-read
Bionic — 5C's radiology AI trained on 3+ billion medical images — pre-reads the ultrasound and flags findings for the radiologist's attention.
- gestational age estimation from CRL, BPD, HC, AC, FL biometry
- nuchal translucency thickness with cut-offs
- major structural anomalies (CNS, cardiac, abdominal wall, skeletal, urinary tract)
- placental position (low-lying, praevia)
- amniotic fluid index abnormalities (oligo/polyhydramnios)
- umbilical-artery and middle-cerebral-artery Doppler indices
- multiple-gestation chorionicity / amnionicity
- fetal cardiac four-chamber and outflow-tract views
- estimated fetal weight with centile
Radiologist read
An NMC-registered ob-gyn / fetal medicine specialist from 5C's 400+ radiologist network reviews every image, validates or corrects AI findings, and adds clinical context.
- NMC-registered, medico-legally valid in India
- Subspecialty-trained for uterus, fetus, placenta
- Available 24/7 across India time zones
QA & peer review
Critical and complex Obstetric Ultrasound reads get a second-radiologist review. Random sampling across all reads supports continuous QA.
- Double-reading on critical findings
- Audit trail for medico-legal use
- NABH-aligned escalation protocol
Structured report
Signed PDF report delivered to your PACS / RIS / email in an average of 30 minutes from the time of acquisition.
- Structured findings + impression
- 15-minute SLA for emergencies
- Critical-finding phone escalation
What's in a 5C Obstetric Ultrasound report
A standard 5C Obstetric Ultrasound report is structured to be readable by the referring clinician, the hospital admin reviewing TAT, and any auditor checking NABH compliance.
Clinical history
Indication (dating, NT, anomaly / TIFFA, growth, bleeding, high-risk surveillance), LMP, gravidity / parity, prior obstetric history, and any maternal comorbidity.
Technique
Probe used (transabdominal / transvaginal), gestational window, scan type (dating, NT, anomaly / TIFFA, growth), and any technical limitation from maternal habitus or fetal position. Compliance with PCPNDT-Act documentation is noted at the centre level.
Biometry and dating
CRL (first trimester), BPD, HC, AC, FL (second / third trimester), with gestational age estimate and expected date of delivery. Estimated fetal weight is reported with centile in third-trimester scans.
Anatomical survey
Systematic fetal anatomy review — CNS, face and neck, cardiac four-chamber and outflow tracts, thorax, abdomen and abdominal wall, urinary tract, spine, and limbs — to the level appropriate for the gestational window.
Placenta, cord, and amniotic fluid
Placental location and relationship to the internal os, cord insertion and vessel count, and amniotic fluid index / single deepest pocket.
Doppler indices when performed
Umbilical artery PI / RI, middle cerebral artery PI, cerebroplacental ratio, and ductus venosus where indicated — for IUGR, pre-eclampsia, or high-risk surveillance.
Impression and critical-finding escalation
Plain-language summary of dating, fetal well-being, and any anomaly. Findings such as major structural anomaly, low-lying placenta close to term, or absent / reversed end-diastolic flow are escalated by phone to the referring OB-GYN.
Obstetric Ultrasound reads, across India
5C Network reports Obstetric Ultrasound studies for 1,500+ hospitals and diagnostic centres across India — Bangalore, Mumbai, Delhi NCR, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Pune, Ahmedabad, Kochi, Coimbatore, Jaipur, Lucknow, and 13 more tier-2 / tier-3 cities. NMC-registered, NABH-aligned, medico-legally valid.
