Hi,

Hi sir, I had gone through your query and understood your concerns.

TIFFA scan and Anomalous scan are one and the same.

It is Fetal anomaly scan or Targeted Imaging For Fetal Anomalies (TIFFA) scan.

This scan is usually done between 18-23 weeks. Detailed study of fetus is done during this scan where each and every part of the fetus imaged using the “Rule of 3”. In case any abnormality is detected, the significance will be discussed by the Fetal medicine specialist and if needed the couple will be referred to other specialists for counseling.

Hope this guides you. Thank you.
