This measurement can help your doctor estimate the risk of your baby having a&nbsp;chromosomal abnormality&nbsp;such as&nbsp;Down syndrome, Edward&#8217;s syndrome&nbsp;(trisomy 18), trisomy 13, etc, as well as&nbsp;heart&nbsp;problems. A nuchal Translucency scan is a very important&nbsp;test on the developing fetus during <a href=\"https:\/\/bookmerilab.com\/blog\/tests-during-pregnancy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">pregnancy<\/a>. It is done during the <strong>11th to 13th week<\/strong> of pregnancy. <strong>USG NT Scan Test price<\/strong> usually ranges from <strong>Rs 1500 to Rs 2500<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The NT Scan is a non-invasive, radiation-free ultrasound examination that offers essential details about the child&#8217;s well-being in the first stages of pregnancy. By visually examining the baby for careful signs of chromosomal abnormalities or other malformations, doctors can intervene earlier and provide additional tests if required. The scan is indeed simple, and it gives no discomfort to the mother or the baby and, hence, is absolutely safe. Identification of problems at an early stage through the NT scan can be of great aid in arranging the necessary treatment during the maternity period.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"783\" src=\"https:\/\/bookmerilab.com\/tests\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/TEST-INTRO-2-3-1024x783.jpg\" alt=\"Ultrasound NT Scan Purpose\" class=\"wp-image-3900\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bookmerilab.com\/tests\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/TEST-INTRO-2-3-1024x783.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/bookmerilab.com\/tests\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/TEST-INTRO-2-3-412x315.jpg 412w, https:\/\/bookmerilab.com\/tests\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/TEST-INTRO-2-3-768x587.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bookmerilab.com\/tests\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/TEST-INTRO-2-3-595x455.jpg 595w, https:\/\/bookmerilab.com\/tests\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/TEST-INTRO-2-3.jpg 1412w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ultrasound NT Scan Test Details in Brief<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#e7f5fe\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Also Known As<\/strong><\/td><td>USG NT SCAN, Nuchal Translucency Scan, NT NB Scan, Ultrasound Level 1<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Purpose<\/strong><\/td><td>To estimate the risk of chromosomal abnormality in a developing fetus<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Preparation<\/strong><\/td><td>No special preparation is required.

Hence they are diagnosed early to either treat the developing embryo or the child after being born.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"PREP\">Ultrasound NT Scan Preparation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>No special preparation is needed. You can eat and normally drink before the test. It may be advised that you drink 600-800 mL of water 1-2 hours before the test. You should have some fluid in the bladder, but not be uncomfortably full. This ensures that the inside of the abdominal area is seen clearly on the ultrasound images. It is advisable that you wear comfortable clothing that gives easy access to your lower abdominal area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No special preparation is needed for a transvaginal NT scan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"PROC\">What is the Procedure For Ultrasound NT Scan?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The ultrasound NT scan can be performed through the abdomen or vagina (transvaginal). The procedure for the ultrasound NT scan is as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>The <strong>transabdominal scan<\/strong> is similar to the normal abdominal ultrasound and is done on the lower abdomen of the pregnant woman.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The gel is applied to the lower abdominal area, and the sonographer will move the transducer on the skin.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In most cases, the scan is done just by moving the transducer over the skin, and the image of the developing child will appear on the screen. However, if that does not happen then the vaginal scan has to be done.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The length of the fluid in the neck of the baby is measured. It appears as a black fluid under the skin. The images on the screen are enough to identify the risk of abnormalities in the developing baby.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If your scan is done <strong>transvaginally<\/strong>, a small, lubricated ultrasound probe is gently inserted into your vagina. The probe may be a little uncomfortable but usually isn\u2019t painful. Scans done this way can give more detailed pictures because the probe is closer to your uterus.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The entire procedure of NT Scan takes about <strong>20-40 minutes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"554\" src=\"https:\/\/bookmerilab.com\/tests\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/image-2-1024x554.png\" alt=\"NT Scan Procedure\" class=\"wp-image-3877\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bookmerilab.com\/tests\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/image-2-1024x554.png 1024w, https:\/\/bookmerilab.com\/tests\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/image-2-560x303.png 560w, https:\/\/bookmerilab.com\/tests\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/image-2-768x415.png 768w, https:\/\/bookmerilab.com\/tests\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/image-2-595x322.png 595w, https:\/\/bookmerilab.com\/tests\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/image-2.png 1026w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"TIM\">When should the Ultrasound NT Scan be done?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Nuchal Translucency or NT Scan is usually performed by the end of the first trimester. The baby should be in a period&nbsp;<strong>between 11 weeks and 13 weeks six days&nbsp;<\/strong>of gestation. The test done before the 11th week may be too early and not show the right results. The <strong>crown-rump length<\/strong> (from the top of the head to the bottom of the torso) of the baby should be between <strong>45mm and 84mm<\/strong>. It is also not advised to delay the Nuchal Translucency Scan beyond 14 weeks since by then the fluid starts to move to the lymphatic system of the baby and may not show the true picture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"RES\">Ultrasound NT Scan Results<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The NT scan measures the thickness of the translucent (black) region behind the fetus&#8217;s neck, which represents the fluid in the nuchal fold of the developing baby (refer to the highlighted area and green line in the <a href=\"#ima\">image<\/a>). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Normal Values<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The values that are considered normal and indicate a lower risk of genetic disorders in the developing baby are given in the following table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><thead><tr><th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Pregnancy Duration<\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Nuchal Translucency Measurement<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">11 weeks<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">2.1 mm<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">13 weeks 6 days<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">2.8 mm<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Abnormal Values<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Values more than 2.8 mm denote more fluid than usual.

There is a 77% accuracy rate of this scan. I, however, to get a more accurate result, the scan is combined with others tests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Other Tests<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/bookmerilab.com\/blog\/double-marker-test\/\">Double-marker blood test<\/a>. The blood test is done to measure the level of hormone beta-HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) and pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A (PAPP-A). The levels of HCG and PAPP-A are higher in the child with Down syndrome.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Non-invasive prenatal test (NIPT)<\/strong>&#8211; A maternal blood test done as early as week 8 of pregnancy checks the cell-free fetal DNA present in the maternal blood.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Chorionic Villus Sampling (CVS)<\/strong>&#8211; An ultrasound-guided test is done, where a segment of the placental tissue is extracted to evaluate the fetus\u2019s developmental status. This test is usually performed between week 11 to week 14 of pregnancy.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Amniocentesis<\/strong>: Usually done between week 15 to week 18 of pregnancy. Guided by an ultrasound, a certain volume of amniotic fluid is drawn to diagnose chromosomal disparities in the fetus during amniocentesis.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The NT scan is a safe, noninvasive test that doesn\u2019t cause any harm to you or your baby. The NT scan is quite an accurate procedure to determine the <strong>risk<\/strong> of abnormalities in the developing baby. Though this first-trimester screening is recommended, it\u2019s optional. Some women skip this particular test because they don\u2019t want to know their risk. Talk to your doctor if you experience anxiety, or are worried about how the results might affect you. &nbsp;It\u2019s important to remember that receiving an abnormal result from an NT scan doesn\u2019t necessarily mean that your baby has a chromosome problem. Similarly, normal test results do not guarantee that your baby won\u2019t be born with an abnormality. Your nuchal translucency scan results can be combined with&nbsp;blood tests&nbsp;to give a more accurate estimate of your risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Pregnancy is a process that invites you to surrender to the unseen force behind all life\u201d- Judi Ford 6<br>We, at BookmeriLab wish you a happy, healthy, and exciting pregnancy<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">FAQs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1663909322166\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What is NT in ultrasound scan?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">NT stands for nuchal translucency.
