Routine Examinations
In the early stages of pregnancy, two key examinations provide vital information about fetal development and allow us to give you peace of mind as early as possible. The examinations are performed at Life Inside clinic in Ra'anana under advanced imaging conditions with warm personal guidance from Dr. Harel.
Weeks 6–10 of pregnancy
The first examination that confirms everything is starting properly. Using gentle transvaginal ultrasound, we locate the gestational sac, verify its position in the uterus, and confirm the presence of normal fetal heartbeat.
Weeks 11–14 of pregnancy
Nuchal translucency screening is one of the important examinations in early pregnancy, usually performed between weeks 11-13+6. During the examination, the thickness of fluid in the fetal neck area is measured, combined with assessment of gestational age, heartbeat, initial fetal structure, and sometimes additional markers.
The purpose of the examination is to assess the risk of chromosomal disorders, including Down syndrome, and to detect early findings that may indicate the need for additional monitoring or investigation.
At the clinic, the examination is performed with a thorough, sensitive, and professional approach, using particularly advanced ultrasound equipment that enables clear and accurate imaging even in the early stages of pregnancy. Alongside the medical aspect, emphasis is placed on clear explanation, answering questions, and providing a calm and safe experience for the couple. The examination is suitable for women in early pregnancy who want early, accurate, and professional assessment of fetal development.
Detailed and accurate examinations throughout pregnancy, combining advanced technology with clinical experience
Early anatomy scan is an important and comprehensive ultrasound examination, usually performed between weeks 13-16 of pregnancy. The purpose of the examination is to assess fetal structure at an early stage and systematically examine the developing body organs - including the brain, heart, spine, face, limbs, abdominal wall, kidneys, and additional systems.
The examination enables early identification of structural findings, assessment of fetal development relative to gestational age, and sometimes guidance for appropriate follow-up, monitoring, or counseling as needed.
At the clinic, the scan is performed with a thorough, sensitive, and professional approach, using particularly advanced ultrasound equipment that enables high-quality and clear imaging of the fetus even in early pregnancy stages. During the examination, emphasis is placed on clear explanation, complete transparency, and answering questions - with understanding that this is a significant and exciting examination for the parents.

Assessment of growth rate and anatomical development relative to gestational age, using advanced ultrasound equipment
Early identification of abnormal structural findings enabling personalized follow-up planning and genetic counseling when needed
Late anatomy scan is a comprehensive ultrasound examination, usually performed between weeks 20-24 of pregnancy. The purpose of the examination is to systematically assess fetal structure and body system development at a more advanced stage of pregnancy - including the brain, heart, spine, face, limbs, kidneys, digestive system, and additional organs.
The examination enables identification of structural findings that may appear or become clear only later in pregnancy, assessment of fetal growth, amniotic fluid quantity, placental location, and sometimes blood flow assessment according to clinical need.
At the clinic, the scan is performed with a professional, thorough, and sensitive approach, using particularly advanced ultrasound equipment that enables high-quality and clear imaging of the fetus. During the examination, emphasis is placed on clear, patient, and personalized explanation to give parents confidence and complete understanding of what is being examined.
