Nuchal Translucency (NT Scan)

Transform Your Pregnancy Journey: Discover Peace of Mind with Our Nuchal Translucency Scan

In today’s modern era, taking care of your pregnancy and ensuring the well-being of your developing baby has become an essential aspect of prenatal care. At Giggles Hospital, we are proud to offer the advanced and specialized Nuchal Translucency (NT) scan, a non-invasive test that provides crucial information about the risk of certain chromosomal abnormalities in the fetus. By facilitating early detection and intervention, this groundbreaking screening procedure is revolutionizing prenatal care.

What Exactly is the Nuchal Translucency (NT) Scan? 

The NT scan is a specialized ultrasound that measures the thickness of the nuchal fold, a small pocket of fluid at the back of the fetus’s neck. Through this measurement, we can evaluate the likelihood of certain chromosomal abnormalities, including Down syndrome and other genetic disorders. The NT scan has emerged as a game-changer in prenatal care, empowering expectant parents with vital information about their baby’s health.

How is the NT Scan Conducted? 

The NT scan is a completely non-invasive procedure performed between the 11th and 14th weeks of pregnancy, utilizing advanced ultrasound technology to ensure the highest level of accuracy. Our team of experienced sonographers will meticulously examine the developing fetus, leaving no stone unturned, and take precise measurements of the nuchal fold.

What are the Advantages of the NT Scan? 

The NT scan serves as a reliable screening test, capable of detecting the risk of certain chromosomal abnormalities. By providing crucial information for early detection and intervention, it offers expectant parents peace of mind and reassurance regarding the health of their growing baby. Alleviating concerns and anxiety, this procedure proves to be an invaluable tool during the pregnancy journey.

Is the NT Scan Safe? 

At Giggles Hospital, the safety and well-being of our patients are our utmost priorities. The NT scan is a completely safe and non-invasive procedure, with no known risks to either the mother or the developing fetus. The ultrasound waves used are harmless, making the NT scan a reliable and risk-free screening option.

What Follows the NT Scan? 

Following the NT scan, our team of expert obstetricians and gynecologists will thoroughly review the results and discuss any findings or concerns with you. This comprehensive approach ensures that you have complete peace of mind. In the event that the results indicate a higher risk of chromosomal abnormalities, further testing may be recommended, such as chorionic villus sampling (CVS) or amniocentesis.
