The Anomaly Scan (18–24 weeks) is a detailed ultrasound scan used to assess fetal anatomy and development during the mid-pregnancy period. It provides real-time imaging to examine the baby’s organs, growth, and overall structure. This scan is particularly helpful for identifying structural abnormalities, assessing organ development, and confirming that the pregnancy is progressing as expected. It also offers reassurance by providing a comprehensive review of fetal wellbeing at this stage of pregnancy. Suitable for individuals between 18 and 24 weeks of pregnancy as part of routine antenatal assessment or for additional reassurance.
