Hi,

A TIFFA scan or a Targeted Imaging for Fetal Anomalies is also popularly known as fetal anomaly scan. It is usually performed between 18-23 weeks of pregnancy and ultrasound is the main diagnostic tool that is used to detect congenital abnormalities. Ultrasonography is a safe investigation and the radiation does not affect pregnancy. Hence you can definitely do the scan without any issues.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
