She is highly experienced in first-trimester screening protocols for chromosomal abnormalities, as well as early pre-eclampsia risk assessment, ensuring timely identification and management of high-risk pregnancies.
Her skillset encompasses detailed second-trimester anomaly scans and chromosomal abnormality screening, alongside specialised fetal echocardiography for the evaluation of congenital heart defects. She conducts in-depth fetal growth assessments and Doppler studies to monitor fetal wellbeing, with particular expertise in umbilical, middle cerebral, and uterine artery Doppler evaluations. She is proficient in cervical length assessment for preterm birth risk stratification, and in the evaluation of placenta accreta spectrum disorders using targeted imaging techniques.
In addition to her imaging expertise, she performs both invasive and non-invasive prenatal diagnostic procedures.
Dr. Annalisa has substantial experience in managing complex and high-order multiple pregnancies, providing individualised monitoring plans to optimise outcomes for both the mother and fetuses.
