Inside the Scan
A detailed, unhurried look at every organ system
High-resolution imaging and a systematic, head-to-toe protocol give every anomaly scan the time and precision this stage of pregnancy deserves.
The Anomaly Scan, also known as the TIFFA scan (Targeted Imaging For Fetal Anomalies), is a detailed mid-pregnancy scan examining your baby’s brain, face, heart, spine, limbs and internal organs for structural abnormalities - recommended for every pregnancy.
High-resolution imaging and a systematic, head-to-toe protocol give every anomaly scan the time and precision this stage of pregnancy deserves.
Performed between 18 and 22 weeks, the anomaly scan is a comprehensive, systematic examination of the baby’s developing anatomy. It checks the brain and skull, face, spine, heart, stomach, kidneys, bladder, limbs, and placental position - looking closely for structural conditions that may need further evaluation, monitoring, or planning for delivery.
This is widely considered the single most important scan of pregnancy - most structural conditions have no outward signs and can only be identified through a detailed, expert-led ultrasound at this stage.
Systematic evaluation of brain, heart, spine, abdomen, kidneys and limbs.
An earlier detailed scan is also available for parents wanting an early structural check.
Assessment of placental position and amniotic fluid alongside fetal anatomy.
If a finding needs closer review, targeted follow-up scans and counselling are arranged promptly.
Yes - the anomaly scan checks structural development of every major organ and is recommended for every pregnancy, regardless of symptoms, since most conditions have no outward signs.
The early anomaly scan (around 14-16 weeks) checks major organs earlier where possible; the standard TIFFA scan at 19-22 weeks remains the gold-standard, most complete structural evaluation.
Findings are explained clearly and calmly in a dedicated counselling session, with a plan for any follow-up scans, specialist referrals or genetic testing if needed.
The scan’s purpose is a structural health assessment; gender may be visible depending on position, but the focus remains on your baby’s wellbeing.
