At SDC Diagnostics, we offer the Nuchal Translucency (NT) Scan as part of our comprehensive prenatal screening services. The NT scan is a non-invasive ultrasound examination performed around the 11th to 14th week of pregnancy to assess the risk of chromosomal abnormalities, particularly Down syndrome. This early screening provides valuable information that can guide further diagnostic testing and assist in making informed decisions about the pregnancy.
Key Features:
Early Detection of Chromosomal Abnormalities: The NT scan is a critical tool for identifying potential chromosomal abnormalities, especially Down syndrome, during the first trimester. Early detection allows for timely counseling and decision-making.
Nuchal Translucency Measurement: During the scan, the thickness of the fluid-filled space at the back of the baby’s neck (nuchal translucency) is measured. An increased measurement may indicate an elevated risk of chromosomal abnormalities.
Combined Screening: In conjunction with maternal age and blood tests, the NT scan results contribute to a more accurate assessment of the risk for chromosomal abnormalities.
Non-Invasive Procedure: The NT scan is a non-invasive and safe procedure, involving only an ultrasound examination without the need for needles or invasive measures.
Expert Sonographers: Our team of skilled and experienced sonographers specializes in prenatal imaging, ensuring the highest quality and accuracy in NT scan results.
