TIFFA Scan at AV Scan, Dadar West
The TIFFA scan (Targeted Imaging for Fetal Anomalies), also called the anomaly scan or level 2 scan, is the most detailed fetal assessment performed during pregnancy — typically between 18 and 22 weeks. At AV Scan, all TIFFA scans are performed on the GE Voluson E10 by FMF (UK) and ISUOG certified radiologists.
