Who writes and reviews content?
Clinical pages and articles are written and medically reviewed by Dr. Mathew Thomas, MBBS, MD (Radiodiagnosis), Fellowship in Fetal Imaging and FMF UK Certified Operator, with 10+ years of fetal imaging experience.
Which sources do we use?
We prioritise guidance and patient information from recognised organisations such as the Fetal Medicine Foundation, ISUOG, ACOG, RCOG, NHS, FDA and established professional medical bodies. References are listed where they help readers verify important claims.
How often is content updated?
Core medical pages are reviewed when relevant guidance changes and at least once every 12 months. A visible review date is changed only after the medical content has actually been checked.
How are corrections handled?
Clinically meaningful errors are corrected promptly and the review date is updated. Readers can report a possible error by emailing info@drmathewfetalscans.com.
Accuracy, uncertainty and medical limitations
Screening tests estimate chance; they do not provide a diagnosis. Diagnostic tests answer specific clinical questions but cannot evaluate every possible condition. We avoid unsupported guarantees, absolute safety claims and unverifiable comparisons such as “best” or “only.”
Clinical care remains individual
Website information is educational. The correct scan, test, timing and follow-up depend on gestational age, medical history, previous results and individual clinical circumstances. Urgent symptoms or reduced fetal movements require direct medical assessment rather than reliance on website content.
Commercial independence and privacy
We do not accept payment for favourable medical recommendations or hide sponsored material as clinical advice. Patient stories, scan images or identifying details are not published without appropriate permission. Website analytics must not include patient names, medical details or other sensitive information.
