Nuchal Translucency (NT) Scan – First Trimester Screening
The Nuchal Translucency (NT) scan is performed between 11 weeks and 13 weeks + 6 days of pregnancy. It measures the fluid at the back of the baby’s neck to help assess the risk of certain chromosomal conditions such as Down syndrome and Edwards syndrome.
A normal NT measurement is reassuring, while an increased NT may require further evaluation. Early screening helps doctors monitor the baby’s development and guide the next steps in prenatal care.
Early screening. Peace of mind for parents.
