Can an ultrasound actually tell if a growth is abnormal?

Ultrasound can do more than just take pictures - it can help doctors assess the size, shape, location and characteristics of a growth.

But what can ultrasound really show?
Can it tell if something is benign or concerning?
And when are further tests needed?

In this reel, we explain how ultrasound is used to assess abnormal growths and what doctors look for.

Huge congratulations to our Medical Director, Dr Karen Mizia, on being awarded the RANZCOG Outstanding Contribution to Women's Health Award.

You've heard the myth: fetal heart rate over 140 bpm means girl, under 140 means boy.

Our sonographer Sarah Dowthwaite and Medical Director Dr Karen Mizia decided to actually test this myth - using data from almost 2,000 of our own patients, made possible by the many sonographers across our practices who carefully collected these scans as part of their everyday work.

The result? Female fetuses averaged 165 bpm, male fetuses averaged 166 bpm - a one-beat-per-minute difference that means nothing when it comes to predicting s*x. This is the first study to confirm fetal s*x using NIPT (rather than a later scan or birth), making it some of the most reliable evidence yet on this question.

So next time you're wondering what that heartbeat number means - now you know: not much, when it comes to pink or blue.

Read the full study, now published in 'Sonography', the journal of the Australasian Sonographers Association - find the link on our website or click here: https://ultrasoundcare.com.au/does-a-fast-heartbeat-girl-we-tested-it/

Short answer: yes. 3D and 4D ultrasound use the exact same sound wave technology as standard 2D ultrasound, just processed differently to create those detailed images.

Decades of research have consistently shown no harmful effects on babies from ultrasound, whether it's a routine 2D scan or a 3D/4D image.

So when you're watching your baby's face come to life on screen, you can enjoy the moment knowing it's backed by years of safety data.

Ever wondered how we actually know if your baby is growing on track? It's not guesswork - it's precise measurements taken at every scan.

Here's what we're looking at:

✔️ Head circumference
✔️ Abdominal circumference
✔️ Femur length
✔️ Estimated fetal weight

These measurements are plotted against growth charts specific to your baby's gestational age, so we can track progress scan to scan - not just compare to a generic average.

Growth isn't just about size. It's one of the clearest windows we have into your baby's wellbeing.

Ever been told something on an ultrasound and left with more questions than answers? You're not alone - and you're allowed to ask for a second opinion.

A second opinion ultrasound can help when:

➡️ You've received an unexpected or unclear result

Every pregnancy is different - and so is every ultrasound journey. Some women need just a handful of scans. Others, due to their individual circumstances, may need weekly monitoring for part of their pregnancy. That uncertainty can make it hard to know what your care will actually cost, and that unpredictability adds unnecessary stress to an already big life moment.

That's why we created the Ultrasound Care Promise.

No matter how complex your pregnancy or how many scans you need, you'll only ever pay for four full-priced obstetric scans. Once those four are paid, every additional scan you require is bulk billed. If you don't have a Medicare card, you'll only be charged the Medicare rebate for any extra scans.

It means whatever your pregnancy brings, you can focus on what matters most - knowing your ultrasound costs are capped, and that you'll always receive the high-quality care you need.

Chorionic villus sampling (CVS) involves taking a small sample of tissue - the chorionic villi - from the developing placenta. Because the placenta typically shares the same genetic makeup as your baby, this sample can be tested for chromosomal or DNA conditions such as Down syndrome.

Our team of specialist obstetricians, genetic counsellors and sonographers are experts in providing CVS for pregnant women.

You may be offered CVS if:

✔️ Your NIPT (cell-free fetal DNA) test showed an increased chance of a chromosomal condition
✔️ Your nuchal translucency test showed an increased chance
✔️ You're over the age of 35
✔️ You've had a previous affected baby or pregnancy
✔️ You or your partner are known to have a chromosomal abnormality
✔️ You or your partner are known genetic carriers
✔️ You're known to be at risk of having a baby with a rare metabolic disorder

Occasionally, CVS is also performed for women who are feeling particularly anxious about the risk of a chromosomal condition.

CVS can be performed trans-abdominally or trans-cervically, depending on what's most appropriate for you.
