NT Scan in Kharghar
The Nuchal Translucency (NT) scan is a specialized ultrasound performed between 11 to 14 weeks of pregnancy. At Pixel Diagnostics in Kharghar, our radiologists with UK fellowship training in fetal medicine provide expert NT scanning services.
What is an NT Scan?
The NT scan measures the clear space (nuchal translucency) at the back of the baby's neck. Increased thickness may indicate a higher risk of chromosomal abnormalities such as Down syndrome (Trisomy 21), Edwards syndrome, or Patau syndrome.
Why is it Done?
The NT scan is a screening test that assesses the risk of chromosomal abnormalities. Combined with blood tests (dual marker), it provides a comprehensive first-trimester screening. Early detection allows parents and doctors to plan appropriate care.
How Does the Scan Work?
The scan is performed transabdominally. The sonographer measures the fluid-filled space at the back of the baby's neck. The measurement is combined with the mother's age and blood test results to calculate risk.
Preparation
No special preparation is needed. You may be asked to have a moderately full bladder for better visualization.
