A TIFFA SCAN (Targeted Imaging for fetal Anomaly) is popularly known as fetal Anomaly Scan. This is a detailed Scan done at 18-22 weeks during which each part of fetal anatomy is examined to diagnose any structural anomalies. A genetic Sonogram (Evaluation of soft markus) is done together in TIFFA SCAN so as to recalculate the risk for Down syndrome following the protocols of FMF, The Absence of soft markers reduces the probability of a baby having Down syndrome.

NIPT (Non Invasive Prenatal Testing) uses a pregnant mother’s blood todetect Genetic conditions such as Down Syndrome(trisomy 21), EdwardsSyndrome (trisomy 18), and Patau syndrome (trisomy 13), as the mother’sblood contains fragments of DNA the fetus. NIPT is a superior screeningtest that uses Cell-free DNA (cf DNA). It is not a confirmatory test but hasan accuracy of 99% in detecting Down Syndrome (Slightly less accuratefor detecting trisomy 13& 18). It can be done after 14 weeks of gestationalage.

Multi-fetal Pregnancy reduction is defined as a first-trimester or early second-trimester procedure for reducing the total number of fetuses in a multi-fetal pregnancy to improve the perinatal outcome. It is a safe procedure with a low risk of miscarriage especially when performed before 14 weeks.

Intrauterine Transfusion is a procedure that provides blood to the fetus most commonly through the umbilical cord. It is recommended when an Rh-negative mother carries an Rh-positive fetus who is anemic.
