ANOMALY SCAN IN BENGALURU — THE MOST THOROUGH STRUCTURAL ASSESSMENT OF YOUR BABY
Anomaly scan
At 18–22 weeks, this scan is one of the most important you will have. It deserves more than a routine check.
Embedded Files
Performed between 18 and 22 weeks of pregnancy, the anomaly scan is one of the most important evaluations during your entire prenatal journey.
This is not simply a routine ultrasound. It is a detailed structural assessment designed to carefully examine your baby’s anatomy, development, growth, and overall well-being.
At ADI Advanced Centre for Fetal Care, every anomaly scan is performed systematically using internationally recognized fetal medicine protocols, combining advanced ultrasound technology with specialist interpretation and careful clinical evaluation.
Our goal is not only to identify abnormalities where present, but also to provide reassurance, clarity, and responsible guidance for families at every stage of pregnancy.
A detailed anomaly scan requires significantly more expertise than a standard pregnancy ultrasound.
ADI follows internationally recognized fetal medicine standards including ISUOG protocols and FMF-guided assessment practices to ensure a structured, high-quality evaluation during one of the most critical stages of pregnancy.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
When should the anomaly scan be performed?
The anomaly scan is usually performed between 18 and 22 weeks of pregnancy, when fetal anatomy can be assessed in the greatest detail.
How long does the scan usually take?
Please allow approximately 45–60 minutes depending on fetal position, clinical indications, and whether additional evaluation is required.
Is the anomaly scan painful?
No. The scan is completely non-invasive and performed externally using ultrasound imaging.
Can all abnormalities be detected during the scan?
While many major structural abnormalities can be identified, no scan can guarantee detection of every condition. Some findings may evolve later in pregnancy or remain difficult to visualise.
Will I receive counselling after the scan?
Yes. All findings are explained clearly after the examination, including recommendations for follow-up if needed.
Can I come for a second opinion anomaly scan?
Yes. ADI frequently evaluates patients referred for specialist review, clarification of uncertain findings, or high-risk pregnancy assessment.
Is a referral required to book the scan?
No referral is necessary. Patients may book directly, and referrals from gynecologists, obstetricians, fertility specialists, and radiologists are also welcomed.
