Ultrasound and Imaging
The Ultrasound and Radiology Department at KEMH provides radiology and ultrasound services to identify and treat antenatal and gynaecological issues in women. The centre also assists in the diagnosis of fetal and newborn disorders.
Ultrasound for pregnant patients
An ultrasound is usually done at around 19 weeks of pregnancy to check the development of your baby. Those women who live within the KEMH catchment can ask their GP to refer them to KEMH for a scan before their first antenatal visit otherwise existing KEMH clinic patients will be directly referred. Ultrasound Clinics run Monday to Friday and patients must bring with them their Medicare Card.
Obstetric ultrasounds include:
- Dating and Viability
