Amniotic Fluid Index (AFI) assessment serves as an essential diagnostic parameter for monitoring fetal well-being throughout pregnancy. Amniotic fluid acts as a natural cushion, safeguarding the baby and enabling smooth organ development.

Measuring the AFI across the four uterine quadrants allows doctors to assess whether the baby’s environment supports optimal growth and movement. Balanced fluid levels reflect healthy kidney function and efficient placental activity, while irregularities may indicate the need for timely medical attention.

At Dr. Ashwini’s Scans and Labs, AFI measurement is performed using advanced ultrasound imaging systems that ensure precision and consistency. This evaluation becomes particularly important during the second and third trimesters, as fluid variations can directly affect fetal health.

By monitoring these changes, radiologists help obstetricians take proactive steps in managing hydration, nutrition, and overall pregnancy care.

Each report is interpreted by experienced specialists who identify abnormalities such as oligohydramnios (low fluid) and polyhydramnios (excess fluid). Early detection through AFI scans promotes effective treatment decisions and reduces the likelihood of pregnancy-related complications. The process remains non-invasive, quick, and comfortable, providing real-time insight into the baby’s development and overall intrauterine environment.
