 - MRI scans
 - Fetal anomaly scans
 
					 Is ultrasound safe during pregnancy?

					 What is a fetal anomaly scan, and when is it done? 
							
			
			
		
						
				A fetal anomaly scan (TIFFA scan) is performed between 18-22 weeks of pregnancy to check for any structural abnormalities in the baby. It helps in early detection of birth defects and assessing fetal growth.
					 When should I get a mammogram, and why is it important? 
							
			
			
		
						
				Mammograms are recommended for women:
- Aged 40 and above (annually for early breast cancer detection)

 - Monitor high-risk pregnancies (e.g., hypertension, diabetes)
 
					 How should I prepare for an imaging test? 
							
			
			
		
						
				Preparation varies based on the type of scan:
