Nuchal Translucency

Nuchal Translucency Scan / First Trimester Screening (11.2 – 13.6 weeks):

The fluid at the back of the foetal neck can give information that may raise the suspicion of a problem. The measurement of this fluid is taken at a very specific time in the pregnancy between 11.2 and 13.6 weeks gestation. Nuchal Translucency (NT) is only a screening and is more effective when taken in combination with:
• Maternal age
• Maternal blood sample
• Ultrasound at 11.2 – 13.6 weeks

This method of screening increases the detection rate of Down’s syndrome and other major chromosomal abnormalities from 50% to more than 95%. For this first trimester screening to include blood work, NT measurement and detailed ultrasound contact us for further details.
