A nuchal translucency (NT) scan can help determine how likely it is that the fetus has a congenital or genetic condition. If you have an irregular result, don’t panic. NT tests are screenings, and abnormal tests mean more tests are needed.
A nuchal translucency screening, or NT screening, is a specialized routine ultrasound performed at the end of the first trimester of pregnancy. It helps doctors determine if a baby is statistically more likely to have a chromosomal abnormality.
First trimester screening (FTS), nuchal translucency (NT) and noninvasive prenatal testing (NIPT) are prenatal tests that provide information on a developing baby’s risk for certain genetic anomalies.
Nuchal translucency (NT) is the sonographic appearance of a collection of fluid under the skin behind the fetal neck in the first-trimester of pregnancy. The term translucency is used, irrespective of whether it is septated or not and whether it is confined to the neck or envelopes the whole fetus. In fetuses with chromosomal abnormalities ...
Learn about the indications, results, and reliability of a nuchal translucency screening for Down syndrome and Edwards syndrome.
An NT scan, or nuchal translucency scan, is a non-invasive ultrasound screening for Down syndrome and other genetic conditions during pregnancy. It’s usually done between weeks 11 and 14 of...
What is Nuchal Translucency (NT)? NT is the name given to the black area seen by ultrasound at the back of the fetal head/neck between 11 - 14 weeks of gestation. The NT represents a normal accumulation of fluid, but, if too thick (usually above 3-3,5mm), it is a sign that something may not be going well with the development of your baby.
The nuchal translucency test (also called the NT scan) uses ultrasound to assess your developing baby's risk of having Down syndrome (DS) and some other chromosomal abnormalities, as well as major congenital heart problems.
Nuchal translucency is a fluid-filled space at the back of the fetal neck seen during late first and early second trimester.
The nuchal translucency test measures the nuchal fold thickness. This is an area of tissue at the back of an unborn baby's neck. Measuring this thickness helps assess the risk for Down syndrome and other genetic problems in the baby.
