This session clarifies the clinical 'why' and 'when' behind anomaly scans. It covers the optimal windows for detecting structural developments and the importance of timing in identifying fetal conditions. Students will learn how these scans serve as a fundamental screening tool to ensure fetal well-being and guide timely medical intervention when necessary.

1. When is the absolute optimal window to perform a Nuchal Translucency (NT) scan to assess for chromosomal markers?
8–10 weeks 11–14 weeks 18–22 weeks
2. Why would you switch from a transabdominal to a transvaginal approach during an early anomaly scan?
It gives a wider field of view for measuring fluid Crisp resolution of embryonic structures when the uterus is still in the pelvis Patient preference only

4. At the 20-week anomaly scan, what are you primarily hyper-focusing on ruling out?
Ectopic pregnancy locations Late-onset preeclampsia risk factors Major structural anomalies: congenital heart disease, cleft palate & clubfoot
5. If an early scan flags a high risk for genetic abnormalities, when is Chorionic Villus Sampling (CVS) typically scheduled?
10–12 weeks 15–18 weeks After 24 weeks
6. If an early scan flags a high risk for genetic abnormalities, when is Chorionic Villus Sampling (CVS) typically scheduled?
10–12 weeks 15–18 weeks After 24 weeks
7. According to the master timeline, what is the main clinical goal when scanning a patient at 30 weeks?
First look at the four-chamber heart Screening for chromosomal aneuploidies Checking fetal position, late growth restriction, and birth planning
