The Nuchal Translucency Scan (11-14 weeks) is the ideal time to date a pregnancy and provide a baseline for information about your baby's health throughout the pregnancy.
During the scan, basic anatomy checks are done to make sure everything is developing as expected.
This test also includes a non-invasive screening to detect chromosomal defects such as Down Syndrome T21, Patau Syndrome T13, and Edwards Syndrome T18.
The risk is calculated based on factors like the mother's age, two hormones found in her blood, and measurements of the nuchal translucency thickness as well as any potential fetal abnormalities detected in the scan.
In conclusion, this scan offers peace of mind and supports informed decisions regarding the development of your baby.
