What is the Nuchal Translucency (NT) Test?

The NT test is an optional first-trimester ultrasound that assesses the risk of congenital conditions like Down syndrome in your baby. Combined with other first-trimester screenings, such as blood tests, it provides highly accurate results.

This test measures the fluid in the nuchal fold behind the baby’s neck. A higher fluid measurement may indicate:

• Genetic or chromosomal conditions (e.g., Down syndrome, Patau syndrome, or Edward’s syndrome)
• Increased risk of congenital heart conditions

During the NT scan, your baby’s basic anatomical structures are also evaluated to ensure healthy development.

When is the NT Scan Performed?

At Dr Swarna’s Aanvi Fertility and Women’s Centre, the NT scan is performed:

• Between the 11th and 13th week of pregnancy
• When your baby’s crown-to-rump length measures between 45 and 84 millimeters

By the 14th week of gestation, the fluid behind the baby’s neck is reabsorbed, making it challenging to assess later in pregnancy.

NT Scan Procedure

1. Preparation: The NT scan is done via an abdominal ultrasound.
2. Steps:
   • A gel is applied to your stomach to help the transducer capture clear images.
   • The doctor moves the handheld transducer over your belly to view your baby on the monitor.
3. Measurement: The fluid-filled space behind the baby’s neck is measured in Millimeters.

If the NT reading exceeds 3 millimeters, genetic counseling and additional testing may be recommended.

Benefits of NT Screening

• Safe, painless, and non-invasive.
• Detects approximately 70% of trisomy 21 (Down syndrome) cases.
• When combined with blood tests, accuracy increases to nearly 95%.
