What Happens During Fetal Echo Test?

A fetal echo test becomes important if the parents of the unborn child were born with a heart defect or the mother has diabetes. This test is very similar to an ultrasound and allows the doctor to see and examine the function and structure of the unborn child’s heart. Our Imaging Centre in Delhi is one of the few centres in the city which provide this test. Usually, it is done around 18th to 24th week of pregnancy. Sound waves from the machine ‘echo’ off the child’s heart and create a picture. This picture of the interiors of the heart is then examined by the doctor.

  1. What Happens During Fetal Echo Test? A fetal echo test becomes important if the parents of the unborn child were born with a heart defect or the mother has diabetes. This test is very similar to an ultrasound and allows the doctor to see and examine the function and structure of the unborn child’s heart. Our Imaging Centre in Delhi is one of the few centres in the city which provide this test. Usually, it is done around 18th to 24th week of pregnancy. Sound waves from the machine ‘echo’ off the child’s heart and create a picture. This picture of the interiors of the heart is then examined by the doctor. This a rough picture of what happens during the test. The process is explained further in the following points: Starting Process - The process of Abdominal Echocardiography will be almost  like an ultrasound. A technician will ask you to lie down and apply a lubricating jelly to your stomach. This jelly will enable the doctor to move the transducer freely. Transducer - Transducer will send high-frequency sound waves (that are too  high-pitched for us to hear) through your body, the wave will echo and are reflected back into the computer. This process will be repeated from different parts of your stomach. Then, the jelly is cleaned and you are free to go. Arun Imaging provides Fetal Echo Test In Delhi at a very reasonable price.
