Srushti Hospital and IVF Center in Thergaon, PCMC, offers the anomaly scan, a detailed mid-pregnancy ultrasound generally performed between 18 and 20 weeks, personally by Dr. Nikhil A. Mahadar, gynecologist in PCMC, to check the baby’s growth and development.
What Is an Anomaly Scan?
An anomaly scan, sometimes called the mid-pregnancy scan, the Level 2 scan, or the TIFFA scan (Targeted Imaging for Fetal Anomalies), is a detailed ultrasound performed during pregnancy to examine the baby’s growth and development closely. It takes a more thorough look at the baby’s anatomy than a routine early pregnancy scan, specifically to check that development is progressing as expected.
When Is the Anomaly Scan Done?
The anomaly scan is generally performed between 18 and 20 weeks of pregnancy. This window is used because the baby is large enough for detailed anatomical structures to be seen clearly, while still early enough in pregnancy that, if any findings need further evaluation, there is time to plan appropriately.
What Happens During the Scan?
The anomaly scan is performed as an abdominal ultrasound. Because it examines each part of the baby’s anatomy in detail, it generally takes longer than a routine pregnancy scan. Dr. Mahadar may ask you to change position at points during the scan, since the baby’s own position can affect how clearly certain structures can be seen at any given moment.

What to Bring to Your Anomaly Scan Appointment
- Your pregnancy file or antenatal card, with previous scan reports and test results
- Any earlier ultrasound images or reports, for comparison
- A list of current medications, including any supplements
- Comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows easy access to your abdomen
- A support person or partner, if you would like company during the scan
Dr. Mahadar’s team confirms any scan-specific instructions, such as bladder preparation, when you book your appointment, so ask at that point if you are unsure what applies to you.
What If the Scan Finds Something?
Most anomaly scans show normal development. If the scan identifies something that needs a closer look, Dr. Mahadar discusses this with you directly and explains what it means and what the next steps involve, which may include a repeat scan, further specialist evaluation, or simply closer monitoring through the rest of the pregnancy depending on the specific finding. Not every unusual finding on this scan turns out to be significant. Dr. Mahadar explains this distinction clearly rather than leaving you with an unexplained flag on a report.

What Equipment Is Used for the Anomaly Scan?
- • Transabdominal ultrasound probe. The scan is performed externally, with a probe moved over the abdomen; no internal instrument is used for this type of scan.
- • High-resolution ultrasound imaging. The level of anatomical detail an anomaly scan requires needs sharper resolution than a routine early pregnancy scan.
- • Real-time imaging. Allowing Dr. Mahadar to observe the baby's movement and structures live during the scan, rather than working from static images alone.
- • Doppler capability, when indicated. Used selectively to assess blood flow, such as in the umbilical cord, if a specific finding calls for it, rather than as a routine part of every anomaly scan.
