Mistakes during scanning and testing have led to many hundreds of abortions every year, according to a new report.

Researchers are of the opinion that many of the embryos may have been healthy with the possibility of completing a full term.
Generally doctors perform a scan to measure the size of the gestational sac as well as to ascertain the presence of vital signs like the heart beat. In some cases, a second scan, if performed after a few days can help doctors make a confirmed diagnosis. This is better than making life-altering decisions based on a single scan.
Women are advised to take a second opinion before going in for an abortion.
