Anomaly Scan With Dopler is an ultrasound (USG) scan of the relevant body part using sound waves—no radiation and no blood sample.
Gel is applied and a probe is moved over the skin; a sonologist evaluates structure, cysts, stones, fluid, or fetal development when obstetric.
Obstetric scans are scheduled by trimester—dating, anomaly, or growth—as advised by your doctor.
About ultrasound

Ultrasound creates real-time images of the relevant body part using sound wave echoes—radiation-free.
It evaluates organ structure, cysts, stones, blood flow (Doppler), and fetal development when obstetric.
Why is it done?
Obstetric ultrasound monitors fetal growth, anatomy, placenta, and fluid by trimester.
Is blood required?
No. USG is external (or endocavity) imaging without blood collection.
