OB Ultrasound at Tarlac Medical Center
OB Ultrasound, also known as pregnancy or maternity ultrasound, is a safe and non-invasive imaging procedure used to monitor pregnancy and assess fetal development. At Tarlac Medical Center, our OB ultrasound services support accurate pregnancy dating, fetal assessment, and maternal care throughout different stages of pregnancy.
Our radiology team works closely with obstetricians to ensure proper imaging, patient comfort, and medically appropriate interpretation of results.
What Is an OB Ultrasound?
OB ultrasound uses sound waves to create real-time images of the developing fetus, placenta, and uterus. It does not use radiation and is considered safe when performed by trained professionals.
OB ultrasound examinations may be requested to:
- Confirm and date pregnancy
- Monitor fetal growth and development
- Assess fetal number (single or twin pregnancy)
- Support routine prenatal care and medical evaluation
Early Pregnancy Ultrasound
Early pregnancy ultrasound is commonly performed during the first trimester to confirm pregnancy and determine gestational age.
This may include:
- 5 to 6 week ultrasound
- 7 to 8 week ultrasound
- First ultrasound or dating scan
Early ultrasound helps evaluate fetal heartbeat, location of pregnancy, and initial development, as requested by the attending physician.
Second Trimester and Mid-Pregnancy Ultrasound
Mid-pregnancy ultrasound examinations are typically requested to assess fetal anatomy and growth.
These may include:
- 13 to 14 week ultrasound
- 16 to 18 week ultrasound
- 20 to 21 week ultrasound or anatomy scan
These scans help provide detailed views of fetal structures and overall development based on clinical indications.
Twin Pregnancy Ultrasound
OB ultrasound is essential in monitoring twin or multiple pregnancies. These scans help assess fetal growth, position, and development for each fetus throughout pregnancy.
Ultrasound Dating Scan
An ultrasound dating scan is performed to accurately estimate gestational age and expected delivery date. This is usually recommended during early pregnancy for more accurate dating.
Important Note on Gender Ultrasound
Ultrasound examinations are performed strictly for medical purposes. Disclosure of fetal sex is subject to applicable hospital policies and medical guidelines. Gender identification may not be guaranteed and is provided only when medically appropriate.
