Pre-natal scanning in pregnancy was established by Professor Kypros Nicolaides at the King’s College Hospital in London, United Kingdom.
After carrying out a 2 – year Fellowship at the Harris Birthright Research Centre of the Fetal Medicine Centre in the United Kingdom, following his Speciality in Obstetrics & Gynaecology, and obtaining the Diploma in Fetal Medicine, Dr Chris M Liassides established the Zoodochou Pigis Fetal Medicine Centre en-site at the Zoodochou Pigis Polyclinic in 2018, carrying out pre-natal scans as established by the Fetal Medicine Centre of Professor Nicolaides, with state of the art ultrasound technology.
The services provided are:
Early Pregnancy Scan
1st Trimester / Nuchal translucency scan carried out between 11 and 14 weeks of gestation for estimation of the date of delivery, early diagnosis of fetal abnormalities and screening for chromosomal defects.
2nd Trimester /Anomaly scan for further evaluation of the fetal anatomy, especially of the brain, face, heart and spine. Uterine artery Doppler scans for the prediction and prevention of preeclampsia.
Isolated cardiac scan with assessment of blood flow across the heart valves and the thorough review of the cardiac vessels.
3rd Trimester – Growth & Doppler scan, carried out to assess the fetal growth and well-being, by also incorporating amniotic fluid measurements, Doppler of blood flow in the Middle Cerebral artery, Ductus venosus, umbilical arteries and uterine arteries. Prediction and management of fetal growth restriction.
3D / 4D scans when the baby’s position allows this.
