Frequently Asked Questions

They are the same scan — TIFFA (Targeted Imaging for Fetal Anomalies) is the formal name. It is also called the anomaly scan, level 2 scan, morphology scan or the 20-week scan.
No ultrasound scan can detect 100% of fetal abnormalities: some conditions cannot be seen on ultrasound, and some only become visible later in pregnancy. At AV Scan, the TIFFA scan is done on the GE Voluson E10 by our FMF (UK) certified radiologists following the ISUOG protocol, and if the baby's position hides some structures, they may need to be looked at again after the baby moves.
The radiologist will explain findings clearly at the time of the scan. We have close referral links with fetal medicine specialists and genetic counsellors should further assessment be needed.
The TIFFA scan usually takes about 45–60 minutes. The duration depends on fetal position and cooperation — some structures may need to be reassessed after the baby moves.
At 18–22 weeks, a full bladder is usually not necessary. However, if the baby is lying in an awkward position, walking and having a small amount to drink may help reposition the baby for better views.
